New trade policy to be launched
The Ministry of Trade will be launching a trade policy that will re-ignite Fiji’s interest in the Australian and New Zeaand markets in the next few months.
Minister for Trade Faiyaz Koya says this single reference document will identify the trade capacity, constraints and needs of each sector.
‘’The policy provides a 10 year plan in terms of trade and investment and identifies the interest in Australia and New Zealand markets while providing specific strategies to re-launching Fiji’s interests in these markets’’.
Koya says Fiji wants Australia and New Zealand to maintain their commitment to the Pacer Plus agreement.
He adds the NZ – Fiji double taxation avoidance agreement policy needs to be revised since it outdated so that investors in both countries can benefit from incentives offered.
