• Political Economic Investment Risk in the Fiji Islands

   

  The Political Risk in the Republic of Fiji under the mismanagement of the military government is real.
  

  As we have witnessed over the past few years since the 2006 coup, changes in government policy, has had an adverse effect on previous, current and potential investor's positions.

  There is no Constitution. The Government is illegal and hence all the permits, licenses, leases etc that they issue are all illegal and will be challenged when democracy is restored.

  The Economic Risk, Investment Risk, Capital Risk, Currency Risk, Liquidity Risk, Financial Risk and Legal Risks in doing business and investing in the Fiji Islands under the current military regime will be a nightmare.

  Lets summarize key facts :
