The Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) is tightlipped on the amount of money it is willing to settle for, to sell off the Momi Bay resort project.

When contacted by Fijivillage, FNPF CEO Aisake Taito only said that negotiations are still underway with the highest bidders who have offered $41 million at the auction on Tuesday.

He said FNPF will not divulge the figure at which the FNPF would be satisfied.

Auctioneer's Bayley's Real Estate General Manager Philip Toogood confirmed that more offers have come in from locals and abroad to buy out the Momi Bay project and they are waiting to see what these offers are and whether any investor is willing to go over the $41 million.

The FNPF has invested $80 million of members’ funds into the project and it is likely that they will have to cut their losses if they are unable to secure a higher bid.
