Written By : General Editor. The Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji, Savenaca Narube, could not have been clearer. The time for talking about the economy is long gone. It’s now time for action.
Inflation is on the rise while our economy is at best stagnant. While our interim finance minister travels the world, people at home are in genuine difficulty. Food prices are rising, jobs are becoming ever harder to find, investment is nowhere near the level needed to fuel economic growth and all we are told is “it’s not our fault.”
It has already ceased to matter whose fault it is or isn’t. Throughout the community people are suffering. They no longer care whose fault it is. They just want some relief.
