The Interim Government is strongly committed to raising the level of investment in the country as part of its effort to create employment opportunities, improve the standard of living of the people of Fiji and in particular to reduce poverty. Concerns have been raised by investors both foreign and local that the major hindrance to the successful implementation of investment is due to the delay in the approvals process among government agencies. To facilitate the expeditious implementation of investment projects, investors with proposals that were submitted to regulatory agencies more than 3 months ago and who have not yet received satisfactory responses, are requested to submit their proposals and the reasons they have been given for the delay to the following: I.
