| Summary |
1. Economic growth in Fiji has been negative or low for four years. This compares unfavorably with other island economies in the region (Figure 1). Fiji's weak growth performance is in part due to the weak domestic investment climate that results from delays in structural reforms, an increase in administrative controls, the decline of the sugar industry, and political uncertainty. The global crisis and heavy rains and cyclones in 2009 and 2010 sapped further strength from the economy. This period has also been characterized by sharp swings in Fiji's terms of trade and foreign reserves, and an increase in public debt from 50 to 56 percent of GDP, due in part to government financing losses of the failed Fiji Sugar Corporation (FSC) |
