113,000 members of the Fiji National Provident Fund have so far accessed funds to the tune of $87 million through FNPF's COVID-19 Withdrawal Scheme.

FNPF's CEO, Jaoji Koroi says $65 million was members withdrawing funds from their general FNPF accounts while $22 million was topped up by the government.

He says members are still facing difficulties and the government has agreed to support round two of the Phase Two Assistance.

FNPF's Phase 3 Assistance is for those who are still unemployed or on leave without pay.

Those FNPF members who withdrew funds in Phase Two Assistance will have to apply again for the assistance and the first fortnightly payment of $220 will be made on 1st September.
