Overview
Fiji's domestic credit stood at 153.06% in 2025, a decline of +9.75% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 153.06% by 2025. Fiji ranked 5th globally.
Fiji’s domestic credit, measured as a share of GDP, has risen sharply from the all‑time trough of 71.93 in 2001 to an all‑time peak of 202.41 in 2021, before settling at 153.06 in 2025, the fifth‑highest level globally. The 125 percent increase between 2001 and 2021 reflects sustained credit expansion, driven by reforms that broadened access to banking services and encouraged private‑sector borrowing. By 2025 Fiji’s credit‑to‑GDP ratio remains well above that of peer New Zealand, which recorded 155.56, and exceeds Morocco’s 144.49, indicating a comparatively vigorous credit market. The upward trajectory has been supported by modest interest‑rate cuts and government guarantees that lowered borrowing costs for SMEs, although the post‑2021 slowdown suggests emerging constraints such as tighter risk assessments and rising non‑performing loans. Continued diversification of financing channels and improvements in credit risk management will be crucial to maintain the current expansion and prevent a reversal of the long‑term growth trend.
