Parliament debating Investment Fiji Bill 2022 which proposes new mandates for Investment Fiji

Parliament is currently debating on the Investment Fiji Bill 2022 which proposes new mandates for Investment Fiji.

While speaking on the Bill, Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the purpose of realigning the mandate and functions of Investment Fiji is to enable it to move away from being a regulator of foreign investors in Fiji and to focus primarily on the role of being a promotional agency for attracting both foreign and domestic investors to invest in Fiji.

Sayed-Khaiyum says the bill proposes investment promotion, investment facilitation, export promotion, after-care, policy advocacy and image building.

The debate continues in parliament.
