Reserve Bank of Fiji has highlighted Fiji’s stronger-than-expected economic performance in 2025 by saying “these developments paint a picture of resilience and momentum.”
In its Financial Stability Review 2025, the Reserve Bank reports that Fiji’s economy expanded by 3.4 percent, driven by broad-based improvements across key sectors and a continued rebound in tourism.
The recovery in visitor arrivals supported growth in hospitality, transport and related services, helping to lift employment and household incomes.
The central bank said domestic demand also remained robust, underpinned by higher incomes, steady remittance inflows and sustained Government spending.
Construction and retail activity benefited from ongoing infrastructure investment and solid consumer demand, while improved performance in the forestry and logging sector further strengthened overall activity.
Fiscal measures introduced in the 2025–2026 National Budget also played a role in supporting economic momentum, reinforcing confidence across the economy.
Inflation remained well contained throughout the year, with annual headline inflation settling at zero percent in December 2025.
The Reserve Bank noted that stable prices, together with comfortable foreign reserve levels, supported currency stability and investor confidence.
“These developments paint a picture of resilience and momentum, with Fiji’s economy not only expanding but also laying the groundwork for more balanced growth,” the Review stated.
The central bank said both external demand from tourism and internal demand supported by fiscal stimulus worked in tandem to underpin economic performance.
However, the Reserve Bank cautioned that while the domestic outlook remains broadly positive, risks are tilted to the downside, highlighting the need for prudent macroeconomic management and continued vigilance.
The central bank added that strong oversight of the financial system, particularly the banking sector, remains critical in safeguarding stability and ensuring the economy remains resilient in the face of global uncertainties.
