The Asian Development Bank (ADB) said the new policies adopted by the Government in the 2010 Budget if successfully implemented will help improve the Fiji economy.

Those were the comments of ADB's Public Financial Management Officer Lai Tora while responding to questions about how Fiji is fairing during the global economic crisis.

Tora said despite the constraints faced by Fiji, the Government's social policies announced in the 2010 Budget will help curb the negative effects associated with the financial crisis.
