Fiji Lending Rate
Lending interest rate FR.INR.LEND
Fiji's lending rate was 4.19% in 2025, ranked 95th globally. This represents a 9.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Fiji's lending rate stood at 4.19% in 2025, a decline of +0.42pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.19% by 2025. Fiji ranked 95th globally.
Fiji’s lending rate has fallen dramatically over the 34‑year span covered by World Bank data, sliding from an all‑time peak of 12.45 % in 1992 to a trough of 4.19 % in 2025, the latter placing the country at rank 95 globally. This decline reflects a sustained easing of monetary policy, likely driven by lower inflation expectations and the gradual liberalisation of the financial sector. By contrast, peer economies such as the Bahamas record a slightly higher rate of 4.25 % and Switzerland a markedly lower 3.02 %, underscoring Fiji’s position near the middle of the current distribution. The long‑term downward trajectory suggests that further reductions are possible if external shocks remain limited and domestic credit demand stays subdued; however, any resurgence in inflation or fiscal pressures could halt or reverse the trend.
