The Awards provide an opportunity for Fijian businesses to benchmark performance, build capability, inspire to innovate, demonstrate service excellence, support job creation, boost employees morale and showcase business achievement to clients and investors.

While officiating at the launch of the awards last night, Minister for Industry, Tourism and Trade Faiyaz Koya highlighted that the Fijian Economy has been growing positively for the past seven years and is projected to grow by 3.8 percent this year, which means growth of businesses and industries, strong consumer confidence and increasing private sector investments.
