Do not always wait for Government Incentives to make a decision on investing.
These are the sentiments of Bank South Pacific Country Manager, Greg Watson to participants of the Fiji Australia Business Council Meeting currently being held at the Intercontinental Resort and Spa in Natadola.
Watson said many investors have always based their decisions to invest, on how they can benefit from what the Government can offer them. However, he stresses this is not how to approach the issue.
He adds that a further advantage of investing in Fiji is the resilience of the economy to bounce back.
The meeting continues this afternoon in Natadola.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Island Trade and Investment Bureau Chief Executive Officer, Annie Rogers said there are plans to go offshore and talk to as many people as they can to let them know that they need to ignore the media hype and invest in Fiji.
Rogers said that for the first 10 months of this year 62 projects have been registered with the FTIB by many foreign investors, to the value of more than 310 million dollars.
