Consumer Council of Fiji CEO, Seema Shandil says the Council is commending the Government for providing consumers with direct support through various policies announced in the 2021-2022 National Budget such as unemployment support of $200 million which will ensure that consumers have the ability to access basic goods and services during these trying times.
Shandil says other incentives such as subsidy on utility payment, extending period for bill payment by four weeks, 50% decrease in traffic infringement fines, waivers such as fees for birth certificate is also welcomed by the Council as it is putting money into the pockets of Fijians and this in turn will result in higher consumer spending that will also benefit the economy.
