ALL of Fiji’s fuel import payments have continued without disruption despite ongoing global uncertainties, according to the Reserve Bank of Fiji.
Governor Ariff Ali said the country’s external payment systems remained stable.
“To date all import payment obligations including those for fuel, have been met in a timely and orderly manner,” he said.
He said that fuel supply challenges were often driven by factors beyond Fiji’s control.
“It is also important to recognise that fuel availability is shaped by global factors beyond Fiji’s control.
“This includes international oil prices, refinery capacity, shipping availability and logistical constraints, which can affect supply regardless of domestic foreign reserve levels.”
Mr Ali said broader economic adjustments were already taking place.
“In this environment, adjustment across the economy is expected as households, businesses, and policymakers respond to higher global costs, with many already adapting spending patterns and improving efficiency to manage cost pressures and support overall economic resilience.”
He said the Reserve Bank would remain vigilant.
“The Reserve Bank will continue to monitor all these developments closely and act, as needed, in a measured and well-calibrated manner to maintain confidence, support stability and ensure that the economy continues to function smoothly.”
