THE South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) has launched a publication titled: Women on Boards of SPX Listed Companies, the first of its kind in Fiji that recognises women serving as directors on boards of SPX-listed companies. A tribute to women in the corporate sector, the initiative was launched at the Ring the Bell for Gender Equality 2026 event as an action-oriented contribution by SPX in marking International Women’s Day 2026 early this month.
SPX chief executive officer Sheraj Obeyesekere said the publication reflected the exchange’s commitment to strengthening female representation on listed boards while recognising the women who dedicate their expertise and time to serving on the boards of listed companies.
“By bringing their experience and leadership into one publication, we hope to both acknowledge the contribution of these female leaders and inspire more women to step forward into positions of leadership.”
He said the profiles demonstrate the depth of capability and multi-industry expertise that exists among female business leaders operating at the highest levels of Fiji’s corporate sector.
“We intend to update the publication annually so that we continue to highlight female leadership across our listed companies and support stronger governance outcomes in the market,” Mr Obeyesekere said.
The publication captures women who served on SPX listed company boards in 2025.
Beyond recognition, the publication aims to increase visibility of experienced women directors and serve as a practical reference point for companies and stakeholders when considering future board appointments.
