Investment Fiji is currently tracking 112 active investment projects across the country, with 61 scheduled for completion in the 2026–2027 financial year.
The remaining 51 projects are progressing towards completion from 2027 onwards, covering sectors including tourism, commercial real estate, renewable energy, manufacturing and telecommunications.
Investment Fiji says the project pipeline reflects continued investor interest despite rising costs and broader economic challenges.
However, the organisation has acknowledged that the completion of many projects remains dependent on overcoming regulatory and administrative hurdles.
Lengthy approval processes, labour shortages and infrastructure readiness continue to pose challenges for investors, potentially delaying the implementation of projects.
Following its recent Board meeting and Strategic Planning Workshop, Investment Fiji has committed to strengthening coordination with government agencies to accelerate project approvals and remove administrative bottlenecks.
The organisation says platforms such as the Transformational Investment Taskforce and Investment Facilitation Committee highlight the need for closer cooperation between regulatory agencies.
Investment Fiji Chief Executive Officer Kamal Chetty said the priority was to ensure investment commitments translated into actual projects, employment opportunities and economic benefits.
“Ambition at this scale is only meaningful if it translates into action on the ground, and ultimately translating to jobs and income for the Government,” Mr Chetty said.
“Our role is to be the partner that moves commitments from paper to practice — resolving the labour, land, and infrastructure friction that slows investors down, and doing it through a whole-of-government approach.”
The current investment portfolio also indicates growing diversification, with capital flowing into manufacturing, commercial agriculture, renewable energy and information and communications technology infrastructure.
Domestic Direct Investment accounts for 56 per cent of the portfolio, while Foreign Direct Investment represents the remaining 44 per cent.
Investment Fiji says this reflects continued confidence among local businesses alongside sustained interest from overseas investors.
Meanwhile, the Board has established a strategic direction aimed at supporting Fiji’s ambition of achieving sustained annual economic growth of five per cent.
It says reaching this target will require investment to consistently exceed 20 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product.
Mr Chetty said Investment Fiji would place greater emphasis on proactive project implementation and faster responses to investor concerns.
He said the organisation’s focus would be on converting investment proposals into operational businesses that generate jobs, develop infrastructure and contribute to long-term economic growth.
