It is a country with a unique setting, perceived to be disadvantaged from a macro\u2013economic and socio\u2013political perspective. Yet its banking performance has rivalled the best in the world.<\/p>\n<p>A combination of prudent banking and regulation, with minimum state interference appears to have worked effectively, and potentially offers important lessons for other developing economies around the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Australia Awards Fellowship, to be rolled out from June 29 to July 10, provides an opportunity\u00a0 to produce the next set of joint working papers examining unconventional monetary policy in Fiji during the last decade, the adequacy of microfinance and mobile banking regulatory framework, and the effects of bank reforms on the efficiency of banks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an\u00a0outcome of a lot of important work in building relationships and trust with partners,\u201d Associate Professor Mark Brimble, Discipline Head of Finance and Financial Planning, Griffith Business School, said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A research initiative involving Griffith Business School and the Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) has received funding under the Australia Awards Fellowships administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
