Businesses have reinvested, rearranged and made ad­justments to overcome the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation (FCEF) president Vi­nay Narsey said this during the FCEF organised, Top Executives (TOPEX) Conference at Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa in Nadi, yesterday.

He said the theme “Resilience businesses ready for tomorrow – 2030” was a reflection to how busi­nesses adapted to and evolved dur­ing the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Businesses in Fiji are up against adversity – cyclones, floods, droughts and now COVID-19.

“Fiji showed its resilience on the back of what many thought was a situation that was out of hand.”

He said TOPEX provided an op­portunity for the business com­munity to explore ways of regen­erations and diversification to become more resilient from im­pending threats.

Participation

322 business delegates are partic­ipating in the conference, which ends today.

There has been a massive in­crease in participation, said Mr Narsey.

“TOPEX only gets better as the years progress,” Mr Narsey said.
