He says these advancements have largely been attributed to the proactive measures and supportive policies implemented by the government.

“A conversation with Google just recently, that basically said Fiji was the peak of all their investment partners around the world in terms of, you know, getting something through. So, I think in that sense, there’s been, you know, dramatic changes in terms of ease of doing business.”
