Behind the scenes of Fiji’s financial market, new payments infrastructure is helping make additional economic growth possible. Congratulations to the Reserve Bank of Fiji for its #DigitalBanking leadership! Huge thanks to @DFAT & @MFATNZ for their support. https://t.co/T1eOyE7d6L

Proud to see our Pacific payments system work making a positive difference in people’s lives. In Vanuatu, ATMs and EFTPOS are now largely interoperable, making everyday transactions easier. Thanks to @dfat & @MFATNZ for their support. https://t.co/mWD1qOjIJw

We're making good progress on advancing gender equality in Fiji. While more needs to be done, we thank the Fijian Government for its partnership & for joining our event in Suva to highlight the success of the program in particular the #RakorakoInitiative. https://t.co/UTPzLzmcXj

@Roshikadeo Last evening drove pass My Suva Park/ Nasese with carnival like setup- almost certain there was no check-in or check-out mechanisms (I could be wrong as I vroomed past it), could see people without mask (or not properly worn) - with large gathering 💁‍♂️ I guess it was permissible!

A strong capital market can help more #Fiji companies invest in their businesses, creating jobs and sustainable recovery amid the #COVID19 pandemic. @IFC_org provided technical assistance to @spxfiji_ in this key financial sector initiative. Read more: https://t.co/BkTMPduRjn

⚠️#TeamFiji please note there is no such thing as a ‘World Bank lottery’. This is a scam. The World Bank works in partnership with governments throughout the Pacific and does not provide direct financial grants to individuals. Vinaka. https://t.co/qKW2OXS6Yo

Just got the text below from @MCTTTFiji. How can you tell people there are only 3 reasons to go out when YOU have been approving businesses to reopen? Who are the approved businesses like retail stores & car washes supposed to serve then?🤯 Sort out your messaging! @FijianGovt

[FRIEND Fiji @FriendFiji]

We are very grateful for this very generous Livelihood support in negotiations since last year for those impacted by the first wave. Vinaka vakalevu for your faith in us 🙏

She cares about not getting people around her sick!

Why are you still undecided?

Today marks 50 years since @FijianGovt’s first project with the @WorldBank began. My thoughts, in @fijitimes 📰, on how 🇫🇯 Fiji has bounced back from other economic shocks, stronger than ever. And it will do so again: https://t.co/gq6TlIkNxS
