Investment Fiji

What Investment Fiji does

Investment Fiji is Fiji's national investment promotion agency, operating as a government statutory body under Fijian Government mandate since 1980. The organization facilitates foreign direct investment by matching international investors with local businesses and investment-ready projects, supports Fijian exporters in accessing international markets, and provides aftercare services and policy advocacy to retain and expand existing investments. Its primary customer segments are international investors (foreign companies and capital looking to establish operations in Fiji), Fijian exporters seeking market entry support, and existing investors requiring ongoing regulatory and operational guidance. The agency does not generate direct commercial revenue; it is funded through Fijian Government appropriations.

Investment Fiji's service portfolio includes a core facilitation and aftercare practice, supplemented by digital resources: the Fiji Trade Map (a self-serve trade analytics platform supported by ITC and UK Aid), the Fiji Exporter Guide (a comprehensive export procedures resource produced with Australia's Market Development Facility), Sector Profiles covering tourism, agriculture, ICT, manufacturing, and renewable energy, and Market Insights for major destinations including Australia, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, and the USA. Business registration is enabled through the Business Now Fiji government portal linked from Investment Fiji's site. Distribution is direct and field-based — outbound missions to New Zealand, Australia, North America, PNG, and Tonga, plus the annual AHICE Fiji Investment in Tourism Summit and the Prime Minister's International Business Awards.

The agency operates from two offices: the Suva headquarters (6th Floor Civic Tower, Victoria Parade) and a Lautoka office (Ground Floor, Jay Lal & Company Complex, 21 Tui Street), with a leadership team headed by CEO Kamal Chetty and a Board chaired by Filimone Waqabaca (appointed March 2025). Investment Fiji's mandate is reinforced by the Investment (Foreign Investors Reporting) Regulation 2022 and the Investment (Reserved and Restricted Activities) Regulations 2022. The agency has recently facilitated high-profile investments including the Yavu Collective-Accor three-hotel expansion (over 600 jobs, 370 rooms between 2026-2027) and Duco Consultancy's AI/ML Center of Excellence in Nadi, and received the 2025 AIM Investment Award for FDI in South, East Asia & Oceania.

• Austrade: Australian Trade and Investment Commission, Australia's national IPA. Comparable mandate around FDI attraction, trade promotion, and policy advocacy, with significant Pacific regional overlap and donor-funded programs that intersect with Fiji.
• Thailand Board of Investment (BOI): Thailand's national investment promotion authority. Comparable in offering tax incentives, aftercare, and policy advocacy to foreign investors, though focused on a far larger industrial economy.
• Invest India: India's national investment promotion and facilitation agency. Comparable mandate (FDI facilitation, sector targeting, aftercare) but operating at a vastly larger scale with stronger global brand recognition.
• Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA): Malaysia's principal investment promotion agency. Comparable in function (FDI facilitation, sector targeting, incentives) though operating at a much larger scale and from a more diversified industrial base.
