Shocking numbers in World Bank’s Fiji Health Review: - life expectancy in Fiji (68) is 9 years lower than our middle income countries peer group - NCD incidence compared to those peers is twice as high. We’re a middle income country with a low income country life expectancy.
#FijiNews | Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman Prasad welcomed World Bank group president Ajay Banga to Fiji and highlighted Pacific issues fijionenews.com.fj/biman-highligh…
Prime Minister Hon. @slrabuka joined his fellow leaders around the Pacific at a High-level Meeting with the @WorldBank President Mr Ajay Banga. The first of such dialogue held at the @ForumSEC underscored the partnership between #Pacific and @WorldBank bit.ly/3XvOobV
Ajay visited Tuvalu’s sole international port, now undergoing @WorldBank-supported climate resilience upgrades. This isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about improving quality of life and securing safer access to vital resources for Pacific families facing climate change.
From Peru to Tuvalu, Ajay has visited 26 countries since starting on the road to rewrite the @WorldBank’s playbook. Already we are faster, simpler, and focused on impact. The tour is now done but we have much more to come.
The @worldbank is backing Fiji's Health Sector Masterplan to help tackle non-communicable diseases while strengthening health systems to boost climate resilience. This work moves us closer to our goal of providing 1.5 billion people with healthcare.
In Tuvalu Ajay stressed the need for investments in adaptation & infrastructure, but also in people’s skills and talents to forge a resilient future. Hearing from young climate activists reaffirmed @WorldBank’s commitment to allocating 45% of our financing to climate initiatives.
We're kicking off the first @WorldBank Presidential trip to Fiji in 50 years. Ajay is in the Pacific to see how IDA can better address the unique intertwining challenges facing the region and how the World Bank can better support a more resilient, sustainable Pacific future.
The Mundell-Fleming IS-LM approach has guided generations of economists over the past 60 years. I am excited to put out a new paper with Suman Basu that provides an updated approach, capturing the new problems countries experience. You can read it here: imf.org/en/Publication…

Our new report on Fiji 🇫🇯's public spending says that if left unchecked, the country's debt levels are likely to threaten both Fiji’s economic recovery from the pandemic and its sustainable economic development. Read more: wrld.bg/y2pX50NLiZy
Welcomed Fijian Minister of Finance and Deputy PM, Hon. @bimanprasad and his delegation to the 2023 @WorldBank/@IMFNews Spring Meetings. We discussed Fiji’s plans for economic recovery, fiscal consolidation, and IDA20 priorities. [1/3]
A bit of a hard read, this one - like the choices we’re left with #FiscalReviewCommittee
Just launched: our new #PacificEconomicUpdate 📰🏝️ says that tourism-dependent countries can expect solid rebounds in 2023; while others can cautiously expect lower – but positive – economic growth after three long COVID years. Read the new report: wrld.bg/vJJs50N4cnZ

Great meeting w/ Hon. Seve Paeniu, Finance Minister of #Tuvalu. We discussed 🇹🇻's key challenges amid the climate & COVID crises. The @WorldBank is committed to help the Pacific country build economic, fiscal & disaster resilience to lay the foundation for a sustainable recovery.
*** The original sin of QE (and QT) QE policies, adopted by the most central banks in the last 15 years, suffered from a sin at birth. This came back to bite this Thursday in the UK. Confusingly, there are three distinct policies that go under the name of QE. 🧵 [1/15]
