Interim Minister for Lands, Netani Sukanaivalu said the $8.5 million incentives for land owners for the development of land and re-leasing of their land that have expired, is a positive sign.
Similar sentiments are made by Fiji Kava Council Chairman Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo on the land incentive.
Fiji Visitors Bureau Chairman Patrick Wong said they are happy with their $23.5million allocation adding they will now continue their branding work of Fiji overseas and widen their advertising market as not all countries have been affected by the global economic crisis.
Businessman, Hari Punja said while he is happy with the decrease in corporate tax from 31% to 29% for next year, he adds the budget delivery was very vague and he needs to look at which items duties have been increased or decreased.
Meanwhile, Former Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase has opted to comment after he analyses the budget.
