National Budget—Health & Education: Fiji’s 2026-27 budget backs a major health overhaul with $647m for the sector, including a $500m PHIT project to build Fiji’s first radiotherapy and cancer treatment centre at CWM Hospital (up to 60 patients a day), plus $883m for education with $708.3m to the Ministry of Education, teacher salaries, and student support. Energy & Infrastructure: Energy Fiji Limited is progressing an approx. $2b renewable push (new hydropower and solar with battery storage, grid upgrades), while the Government moves ahead with a $1.5b Suva Port redevelopment to strengthen trans-shipment capacity. Cost of Living & Fuel: Fuel relief is expected from July as global oil prices ease, with domestic reductions signalled; the budget also extends diesel/heavy fuel duty concessions and subsidises the 22.5% bus fare increase. FNPF Returns: The FNPF will credit members 9.5% interest, with about $866m to be shared by month end. Security & Border Control: Police get $226.5m (down $13.8m) but say drug operations won’t be affected; the budget also funds narcotics work, transnational crime focus, and new container examination facilities. Tourism & Aviation: A temporary 5% tourism services tax will ring-fence about $70m for Fiji Airways over 12 months. Sports Business: Bula FC gains the same sponsorship tax deduction as Drua, with a lower qualifying threshold to broaden business support for football. Regional Moves: Solomon Islands and PNG sign a framework agreement on development and economic cooperation, including talks on a tailored free trade concept.
