Financial Services Demand Side Survey 2025
This Report summarises the findings of the third Financial Services Demand Side Survey in Fiji. The Survey, undertaken across the Central, Northern, Western and Eastern Divisions, is a needs assessment study of financial products and services, including digital and green products. The aim is to assess the progress made in the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2022-2030 in comparison with the results from the two previously undertaken Demand Side Surveys.. This assessment will also inform the upcoming mid-term review of the NFIS. The research design, data collection approach, and analysis plan for reporting were finalised in consultation with the Reserve Bank of Fiji (henceforth, RBF) and Tebbutt Research. Funding support for the survey was provided by the Asian Development Bank.
