Abraham Joel, the chief executive of the Fijian Competition & Consumer Commission (FCCC), has announced his resignation. The FCCC praised his leadership, highlighting his commitment to creating a regulatory environment that emphasizes fairness and consumer protection.
During his tenure, Joel focused on safeguarding consumers from unfair business practices and strengthened the competition and consumer protection framework. His leadership has led to FCCC’s increased capacity and effectiveness, earning the organization recognition both nationally and internationally as a trustworthy competition authority.
One of Joel’s significant contributions includes the establishment of the Pacific Islands Network of Competition, Consumer Protection, and Economic Regulators (PINCCER), which has promoted regional collaboration and enhanced regulatory standards throughout the Pacific region. Joel has been with the FCCC since 2013 and has served as its CEO since 2016.
Abraham Joel’s departure marks the end of an era for the FCCC, but his legacy of consumer protection and regional cooperation will likely continue to influence the organization and its mission positively. His contributions not only benefited Fiji but also set a benchmark for regulatory practices in the Pacific, paving the way for future leaders to build on these advancements.
