Last update: 10 hours ago

Sugar Industry Pressure: Cane farmers in Fiji’s North say the 2026 harvest is starting under heavy strain from higher fuel, groceries and labour costs, with crushing due to begin June 17 at Labasa Mill. Economic Urgency: State of the Economy Dialogue 2026 chair Richard Naidu warns Fiji needs urgent action as poverty remains widespread and growth is too slow for development goals. Growth Cut, Inflation Worry: The Reserve Bank of Fiji has revised 2026 growth down to 1.5% as tourism momentum softens and households pull back, while inflation is expected to rise above 6%. Debt Outlook: Fiji’s coalition debt is projected to reach about $11.4b (around 81% of GDP) ahead of the election, keeping fiscal space tight. Cybercrime Push: Fiji is strengthening cybercrime laws and regional coordination through PILON, including a handbook to help Pacific countries implement stronger legal responses. Land & Development Rights: A CRC submission urges constitutional protection for iTaukei landowners, including meaningful consultation and free, prior and informed consent for major developments. Environment & Waste: Environment Minister Lynda Tabuya warns Fiji can’t claim climate resilience while pollution and poor waste management keep damaging rivers and reefs. Energy Transition: Pacific leaders are accelerating solar training and community installs as fuel costs and power reliability issues bite. Aviation & Tourism Links: Fiji Airways renews its MOU with Vanuatu Tourism Office, reinforcing route-based tourism promotion. Justice & Accountability: Questions raised over the Prime Minister’s Disaster Fund records, with claims that the OPM doesn’t hold the financial receipts.
