Investment Fiji registered 12 investment projects from USA and Canada in 2021 which had a total value of $16.25 million with the projects in the tourism, services, real estate and manufacturing sectors.
Acting chief executive officer Investment Fiji, Kamal Chetty said the North American market had been among Fiji’s principal investment and trading destinations.
This week Investment Fiji hosted the Vodafone Fiji sponsored Fiji-North America Investment Webinar in close partnership with the US Embassy in Fiji and the Fiji Embassy in Washington D.C. According to a media statement from Investment Fiji, Fiji’s economy is projected to rebound by 11.3 per cent in 2022 with a growing number of sectors offering high-impact investment opportunities.
However, Mr Chetty highlighted that investors were yet to fully maximise the opportunities for investments in the country.
Officially opened by Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport Faiyaz Koya, the webinar was a timely partnership between the two regions to showcase Fiji’s capabilities, opportunities and relevant incentives in tourism, agriculture, manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) sectors.
