Fiji Economic Report Source: Bank of Hawaii's "An Economic Assessment of Fiji" Date: Fall 1993 OVERVIEW The Fiji islands occupy about three-quarters of a million square kilometers in the southwest Pacific ocean, embracing 18,376 square kilometers (about 7,000 square miles) of land area in 322 islands. Fiji's economy has rebounded from political turmoil in the late-1980s to five straight years of real economic growth, averaging an estimated 3 percent in 1992 and 1993 despite the global economic slowdown of the early 1990s. Fiji is a developing economy with a large, rural subsistence sector and a vibrant, growing market sector. Both indigenous, native Fijians and a slightly smaller number of Indians, each just under half the population, are active in the subsistence and market sectors. Tourism has replaced sugar as the largest earner of export receipts, but both the export sector and the industrial composition of gross product are highly diversified across traditional and emergent sectors. Sectors experiencing the most notable performances of recent years include garment manufacturing, a success story partly attributable to a new export-oriented economic development strategy, and resource-based industries like forestry and mining. Fiji is pursuing a market-driven, export-oriented development strategy, with equal emphasis on bringing the economically disadvantaged into the market economy. Fiji is a parliamentary democracy whose Parliament was reconvened in 1992 after five years following a pair of coups d'etat in 1987. The return to parliamentary government leaves some unfinished constitutional business, but meanwhile economic reforms introduced by the interim government and pursued under the new government have already begun to bear fruit. Government has a favorable posture towards foreign investment and a recent history of good fiscal and monetary management. The large proportion of communally-owned lands in Fiji does not pose a particularly serious obstacle to foreign investor participation in the economy.

Donate Subject: Joyo Exclusive: Wolfowitz's Jakarta Years: Suharto Apologist, Economic Cronyis Joyo Exclusive March 29, 2005 Wolfowitz's Track Record on Economic Policy and Human Rights Is Poor By Jeffrey A. Winters Assoc Prof of Political Economy Northwestern University In an effort to downplay his more recent hawkish profile as the #2 man at the Defense Department, Paul Wolfowitz, nominated by George Bush to be president of the World Bank, has pointed to his tenure as ambassador to Indonesia as evidence that he is well suited to lead the world's largest institution focused on development. In fact, Wolfowitz's record as ambassador in Jakarta provides some of the most damning evidence against him. In 1997 the Indonesian banking and financial sector imploded under the weight of gross mismanagement, non-performing loans, and debilitating corruption. As ambassador to Indonesia, Wolfowitz helped set the stage for this collapse of the Indonesian economy, a tragedy that plunged tens of millions into abject poverty. Specifically, in 1988 Indonesia implemented one of the most reckless deregulations of a banking sector ever undertaken. Pushed by the World Bank, the IMF, and Wolfowitz's Economic Policy Support Office (EPSO) at the U.S. embassy, Indonesia's technocrats opened the floodgate for local crony conglomerates to set up private banks across the country and take in deposits from a trusting public.
