First Pacific Corporate Governance Summit In Suva
Pacific Corporate Governance Institute (PCGI) is organising its first Pacific Governance Summit in Suva in April.
Fijian Holdings Limited Group Chief Executive Officer Nouzab Fareed is the PCGI chairperson.
At least 100 top directors in Fiji will be in attendance at this event.
Senior bankers from New Zealand and Australia will also attend.
After the official opening ceremony, it will be a closed door session with Chatham House Rules.
Chatham House Rules is a rule or principle according to which information disclosed during a meeting may be reported by those present, but the source of that information may not be explicitly or implicitly identified.
The Pacific Corporate Governance Institute plays a crucial role in raising governance standards in our market, which will help Fijian companies better manage risks and improve profitability.
This will contribute to the sustainable development of the country’s banking sector and capital markets.
