Fiji is a vibrant archipelago of more than 300 islands in the South Pacific, serving as a regional hub for trade, transport, and diplomacy. Its capital, Suva, on the island of Viti Levu, is the commercial heart, while Nadi acts as the primary gateway for international travel. In 2026, Fiji’s economy is projected to grow by 2.8%, sustained by a resilient tourism sector and strong recovery in sugar production and gold mining. With a population of approximately 950,000, remittances are a critical economic driver, often surpassing sugar as a source of foreign exchange and providing essential support for rural and maritime communities.
