As the focal organization for the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) Center of Excellence on Public-Sector Productivity, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) continues to provide in-depth insights into the public sector profiles of APO member economies. This latest edition focuses on Fiji, shedding light on its government’s progressive efforts to enhance fiscal stability and disaster preparedness.

According to the World Bank, Fiji’s public sector is making strides in building resilience, with significant reforms aimed at boosting revenue to fund essential services such as healthcare and education. The introduction of the National Disaster Risk Management Bill is a key step forward, promoting disaster preparedness at the divisional level to mitigate the impact of natural calamities. Additionally, Fiji is taking active measures to streamline bureaucratic processes, notably simplifying the renewal of business certificates for low-risk enterprises—an initiative aimed at encouraging private sector investments, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

These reforms not only enhance Fiji’s fiscal and disaster resilience but also pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future. Learn more about how Fiji’s public sector is driving change and fostering growth.
