 CONCLUSION:
THE RUSH IS ON |
For an island nation with not even one million inhabitants
and an politically independent history of just little
more than 30 years, Fiji Islanders will be the first
to tell you that no nation is an island. Yet being
a country of 300 islands does have its advantages.
The ocean acts as a natural buffer zone, shielding
Fiji from the shock and turmoil in major markets
of the world. While being declared a source of hope
for the world by Pope John Paul in 1986 may be an
over exaggeration, the truth is that the feeling
of optimism is now growing that the time to invest
in Fiji is now. With the total cost of intended
investment valued at $1 billion FJD (@ $500m USD),
the rush for a stake in the island nation has already
begun.
