Fiji is emerging as an attractive location for Australian outsourcing companies, as highlighted by Miles Blok, founder of Vuvale Outsourcing. In an interview with The Fiji Times, Blok emphasized the warm welcome Fijians extend to Australian enterprises and pointed out the stability of Fiji as a pivotal factor influencing their expansion in the region.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting global operations, Vuvale Outsourcing managed to maintain steady operations in Fiji. Blok commended the government’s commitment and the reliability of various sectors that facilitated continuity of services during these challenging times, affirming their confidence in investing in Fiji.
The growth of the outsourcing sector is becoming instrumental in Fiji’s efforts toward economic diversification. At a recent event where Vuvale Outsourcing donated $1.5 million to the Ro Camaisala Memorial School in Namosi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade Manoa Kamikamica reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering the outsourcing sector. He highlighted the importance of attracting more investors and promoting Fiji as a center of talent and innovation.
Industry leaders echo this optimism. Sagufta Janif, Executive Director of Outsourcing Fiji, pointed out that the outsourcing market in Fiji is thriving due to innovative strategies and the resilience demonstrated throughout the pandemic. Such developments have a significant impact on job creation and economic sustainability in the country.
In light of this positive trajectory, the government has announced plans to increase funding for the outsourcing sector, aimed at bolstering Fiji’s capabilities and drawing in global businesses. This initiative will not only focus on job creation but also emphasize upskilling the local workforce to align with international standards.
Overall, the future appears bright for Fiji’s outsourcing industry, supported by robust governmental backing and the impressive resilience of its workforce. The continued expansion of this sector signifies a promising shift toward a balanced and diversified economy, leveraging global opportunities while fostering local talent.
