The Investment Facilitation Committee is playing a crucial role in enhancing Fiji’s investment landscape, according to Finance Minister Esrom Immanuel. He highlighted that this committee is empowered by a strong mandate from Cabinet and is central to the government’s strategies for investment facilitation and economic reform.
Immanuel emphasized that the committee goes beyond merely serving as a discussion platform. It functions as the government’s engine room tasked with identifying and resolving various bottlenecks that hinder investment. The committee aims to dismantle persistent barriers and drive necessary reforms that bolster investor confidence, improve private sector performance, and contribute to overall economic growth.
In his remarks, the Finance Minister noted, “Beyond identifying investments, we will also be overseeing the functioning of various working groups that are advancing reforms tied to national priorities and the ease of doing business.” This organized effort allows the committee to simultaneously implement multiple reforms while ensuring that the responsible agencies are actively involved and accountable for their execution.
Immanuel stressed that the collective efforts of the committee focus on maintaining Fiji as a competitive, reliable, and attractive investment destination. He envisions an economy characterized by transparency in processes, timeliness in decision-making, and a commitment to consistently enhancing reforms. This proactive approach is vital for fostering a robust investment climate in Fiji, ultimately supporting sustained economic development and growth.
The commitment to improving the investment environment not only reflects the government’s dedication to economic success but also offers hope for a brighter financial future for Fiji and its citizens.
