International Monetary Fund and World Bank officials are expected to meet the Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama today.

This has been confirmed by Prime Minister's Office Permanent Secretary Pio Tikoduadua.

The representatives are here to have discussions with the Fiji government on their proposals put forward in their last meeting in Istanbul and to see whether they will financially assist the government to carry out reforms proposed in the People's Charter.

Commodore Bainimarama earlier said that initially, the IMF and World Bank had sent their officials to carry out checks and balances on the state of the economy, but now they have agreed to come to Fiji for further discussions regarding the funding of the Government's reform.

Commodore Bainimarama said he hopes it will be a fruitful visit.
