As a small island developing state, Fiji faces specific challenges both in mobilising public finance and attracting private investments. This chapter provides a short comparative analysis of Fiji’s government revenues. It discusses the innovative financing mechanisms, such as green bonds, blue bonds, and environmental taxes, which Fiji is using to mobilise more public and private finance. The chapter also provides original estimates of Official Development Assistance directed in support of the ocean economy of Fiji, detailing its scope, nature and destinations.
