Cost of living to rise hitting poor
Following the devaluation of the Fiji dollar by 20%, inflation or cost of living in Fiji is expected to rise given that the cost of imported food items and things will become more expensive due to the weakened Fiji dollar.
This means that the cost of rice, flour, tea, and other basic items will increase hitting the pockets of poor people very hard.
Expect to pay more for bus fares and fuel in the next few weeks as Fiji’s biggest import commodity, fuel, will be more expensive to buy.
It is time to go back to the land and start planting your own food people.
Buy local made products, vegetable and fruits and cut off the fat from your weekly budget list.
