The Australia Fiji Business Council (AFBC) and Investment Fiji have unveiled plans for the Fiji Trade & Investment Review 2025, an annual publication aimed at providing essential insights about Fiji’s economic landscape to businesses and investors alike. This strategic publication will serve Australian, Fijian, and international stakeholders, highlighting sectoral opportunities, regulatory frameworks, and showcasing success stories from local enterprises.
Since its establishment in 1986, the AFBC has played a crucial role in enhancing trade and investment relations, collaborating closely with its counterpart in Fiji. The release of this publication will leverage the expertise of its editorial partner, Islands Business, recognized as the leading business publication in the Pacific Islands.
Kamal Chetty, CEO of Investment Fiji, expressed that this initiative is vital for linking investment potentials with actionable steps. He stated, “This publication will empower investors with the necessary resources and insights to make informed decisions, bridging the gap between opportunity and action.”
The Fiji Trade & Investment Review 2025 will delve into key industries such as infrastructure, tourism, manufacturing, agribusiness, digital technology, and renewable energy. It will also guide foreign investors on compliance requirements and include case studies that illustrate successful ventures within these sectors.
AFBC President Zane Yoshida emphasized that the publication is integral to fortifying investment ties, stating that it will offer a comprehensive view of Fiji’s evolving economic environment. This initiative aligns with previous discussions held between Yoshida and Fiji’s Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica, validating the commitment to enhancing Fiji’s attractiveness as a business destination.
As Fiji bounces back vigorously, this publication is set to become a key resource for businesses aiming to penetrate or grow within one of the Pacific’s most promising markets. Produced entirely in Fiji by experienced journalists and researchers, the review will be available in both print and digital formats, with its launch planned for mid-2025.
Fiji’s ongoing recovery, along with expected investment increases, together suggest a positive outlook, making it an encouraging time for domestic and international businesses to explore opportunities in the region.
The anticipated investment pipeline further underscores Fiji’s growing economic prospects, as hailed by officials—demonstrating strong investor confidence and marking a significant era for collaboration and development between Fiji and Australia.
