Export Incentives
The Fiji Government has setup an Incentives Package with the aim of encouraging increased investments in export businesses. Foreign investments in export related activities are welcomed especially because they introduce capital, expertise and technology which make significant contribution to Fiji's economic development. Joint ventures are highly encouraged to stimulate local entrepreneurship.
Amongst the incentives provided to exporters, the Government offers generous tax deductions on export income. In addition, the Import Substitution and Export Finance Facilities of the Reserve Bank of Fiji makes available F$40 million through the banking system to eligible businesses at concessionary interest rates. This facility can now be accessed for renewable energy, in addition to agriculture and aquaculture.
