Fiji faces economic challenges from rising global fuel prices linked to Middle East tensions.

Fijian Finance Minister Esrom Immanuel warned that rising global prices linked to Middle East tensions will impact Fiji within two to three months, making the 2026–2027 financial year more challenging. Higher fuel prices are expected to increase costs for transport and businesses. The government has established committees to monitor the situation, with assistance focused on low-income households due to limited resources.
