Fiji Chamber of Commerce Acting President, Swani Maharaj suggests that the Interim Government should review all incentives and tariff protections to increase productivity levels.

Speaking at the Media Forum last night, Maharaj said that the vaka malua attitude meaning the slow approach must be eradicated and there is a need to become efficient and competitive.

Maharaj adds that currently there are some discrepancies shown in respect of tariff protection in certain industries.

He said such discrepancies are found in tariffs for milk powder, beer, liquor and noodles.

Maharaj stresses that Fiji needs a high level of investment and must be able to compete in the international export market in order to achieve a high rate of growth.
