The National Development Plan (NDP) is set to be launched next Tuesday, with Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka officiating the event. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Biman Prasad emphasized that the launch will mark the beginning of a comprehensive plan aimed at fostering national unity and a collective vision for social, economic, and political progress.
Mr. Prasad stated, “Our National Development Plan will be launched on Tuesday by the Prime Minister. We have the potential to become a prosperous nation in the next 25 to 30 years, but this can only be achieved if we move away from the status quo.”
He highlighted the importance of political stability, consistent policies, and a consultative approach that is transparent and accountable. The Ministry of Finance is leading the NDP initiative and aims to build on results from the Economic Summit, reports from the Fiscal Review Committee, and outcomes from the Education Summit.
“We are confident as a Government that we will leave a legacy, regardless of how long we are in power, that fosters a political culture and leadership allowing for peaceful and transparent transitions between governments,” Mr. Prasad added.
