bizFIJI 2.0 will now be known as business now FIJI, under the Ease of Doing Business Reforms.
The rebranding was announced by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka today.
Rabuka said that the bizFIJI portal was introduced in 2019 under the Ease of Doing Business Reform project, aimed to provide domestic and foreign investors information on starting a business, construction permits, paying taxes on the digital platform.
He said it provides links to keys Government e-services and is regularly updated.
“The next phase of the Ease of Doing Business Reform project is to establish an online integration portal for approval processes for starting a business and construction of permits.”
Rabuka said it is a combined effort of all approval agencies related to the processes of getting a business started and approval to construct, hence, constitutes a ‘Whole of Government’ approach.
He also indicated that the portal will digitise the business operations and development, providing easy and one-stop online presence.
“It is engineered towards delivery of quality service in a time and cost-effective manner, by the approval agencies to boost the growth of the economy and business processes through digital transformation,” he said.
Rabuka added that the rebranding signifies the importance of investment and further emphasises the need to remove bottlenecks in doing business in Fiji in terms of current initiatives.
