Locations
Fiji
Fiji is an upper-middle-income Pacific island country whose economy is driven by tourism, agriculture and remittances. As a small island developing state (SIDS), it faces acute exposure to climate change, natural disasters and external shocks. In recent years, Fiji has prioritised resilient infrastructure, renewable energy expansion and fiscal consolidation to strengthen macroeconomic stability following pandemic-related disruptions. Development partners, including multilateral development banks, support investments in transport, water systems and climate adaptation. Continued reforms to public financial management, private sector development and disaster-risk governance remain central to sustaining inclusive growth and reducing vulnerability to climate-related risks.
