Lesson
Fiscal reform, pensions, and capital markets reforms are inextricably linked, because of the role each plays in economic development. Subprogram 2 supported the development and approval of the Capital Market Development Strategy, 2022–2028 by government decree, which includes a commitment to develop a green bond framework. This provides a strong basis from which to develop a broader integrated program to support not just fiscal resilience but also further capital market reforms in conjunction with the Finance Sector Office.

Some of the policy actions under this program were designed to improve the government's performance of its SOE ownership function. However, in addition to these policy actions, it is imperative for SOEs to proactively promote good corporate governance and develop functional autonomy from the government.

The design of this reflected ADB's differentiated approach in SIDS, spreading reforms across complementary areas and government units while combining policy actions that introduce or advance policy and legal frameworks with those that support their implementation.

Continuous and consistent technical assistance (TA) is crucial to the successful implementation of reform programs and sustainability of the reform process. This program is built on the long-term engagement of ADB and development partners in Fiji. It therefore benefited from extensive TA in public sector management, reforms introduced through the previous PBL, and project investments in the water and energy sectors.
