ADB Director General Leah Gutierrez reiterates their support for achieving sustainable economic growth.

Gutierrez also stresses the importance of prioritizing key areas of development.

“By supporting critical policy reforms in the energy and water sector, the program can also help improve the sustainability of Fiji’s plant infrastructure investments in those sectors where ADB is also engaging and mobilizing project financing.”

These collaborative efforts aim to strengthen Fiji’s economic foundation and ensure long-term prosperity.
