The Fiji Islands Trade and Investment Bureau (FTIB) is targeting to register around 150 to 200 investment projects worth between $300 million to $500 million this year, says CEO Annie Rogers.
Rogers said the FTIB’s focus now would be on trade and investment missions and the streamlining of internal registration processes.
She said the FTIB will host an interagency workshop at the end of this month to enable Fiji’s 22 to 25 approval agencies to “brainstorm the streamlining of the approval agencies’ processes and how they can be improved”.
Rogers said while the coordination between the agencies has improved over the years, the workshop would enable the FTIB to be “more aware of what different agencies do and how they blend to get the projects off the ground”.
The FTIB has also set up a “case based approach” in which a specific FTIB staff member is assigned to an investor until the investment project is off the ground.
