Fiji has trade and investment potential in infrastructure development, energy, mining, health, information technology and communication (ITC), and agriculture. These provide export and trade opportunities in consumer goods, agricultural and food processing machinery, data processing and telecommunication equipment, power generation, transmission and distribution equipment, and medical services.
The government’s priorities for the infrastructure sector include road construction to expand road networks, and water and sewerage system upgrade and maintenance. The upgrade and renovation of Suva’s public hospital remains a priority for the government to cater to rural-urban migration pressures on medical facilities and services. The government’s funding allocation for major infrastructure projects are for education, healthcare services, water and sewerage services, road construction and maintenance, and bridge upgrades and replacements.
