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. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2014/321 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aStatistics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology$2imf 606 $aComputer Programs: Other$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aCredit$2imf 606 $aExchange rate flexibility$2imf 606 $aMoney$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments statistics$2imf 606 $aEconomic and financial statistics$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 607 $aFiji$xEconomic policy 607 $aFiji$xEconomic conditions 607 $aFiji, Republic of$2imf 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aStatistics 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology 615 7$aComputer Programs: Other 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aCredit 615 7$aExchange rate flexibility 615 7$aMoney 615 7$aBalance of payments statistics 615 7$aEconomic and financial statistics 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFinance 676 $a330.99611 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821972303321 996 $aRepublic of Fiji$93953256 997 $aUNINA
