We see significant scope for diversifying the Fijian economy even within the Tourism sector - International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund says it sees significant scope for diversifying the Fijian economy even within the Tourism sector.

IMF Mission Chief to Fiji, Pablo Lopez Murphy says he is always concerned when an economy is so reliant on one sector like Tourism, a sector that could be vulnerable to natural disasters.

He says they always emphasize the need to build buffers to respond to these natural disasters.

Murphy says he has been coming to Fiji since 2017 and a strong improvement he has seen is the development of concrete plans to address issues.

He says he knows this will shape development opportunities for Fiji in the coming years.
