Consumption and investment indicators suggest continued strength in 2014, with economic growth projected at 3.8 percent. Headline inflation is currently low as imported commodity and food prices have remained stable. The Reserve Bank of Fiji lowered its policy rate to 0.5 percent in 2011, and monetary policy has been on hold since then. In response to lower rates and improved confidence, net domestic credit accelerated in the first half of 2014. Based on developments in the first half of 2014, the deficit financing target is on track to be met.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2014/321Banks and BankingimfForeign ExchangeimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfPublic FinanceimfStatisticsimfMacroeconomicsimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfPublic finance & taxationimfBankingimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfMonetary economicsimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfExpenditureimfPublic debtimfCreditimfExchange rate flexibilityimfMoneyimfBalance of payments statisticsimfEconomic and financial statisticsimfDebts, PublicimfBanks and bankingimfExpenditures, PublicimfFinanceimfFijiEconomic policyFijiEconomic conditionsFiji, Republic ofimfBanks and BankingForeign ExchangeMoney and Monetary PolicyPublic FinanceStatisticsMacroeconomicsDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherPublic finance & taxationBankingEconometrics & economic statisticsMonetary economicsCurrencyForeign exchangeExpenditurePublic debtCreditExchange rate flexibilityMoneyBalance of payments statisticsEconomic and financial statisticsDebts, PublicBanks and bankingExpenditures, PublicFinance330.99611DcWaIMFBOOK9910821972303321Republic of Fiji3953256UNINA
