Minister of Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, announced that the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) has been awarded with an exclusive casino license.
According to a report pusblished by Xinhua, Fiji has had several attempts to set up a gaming facility.
Earlier this year, the Fiji Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal filed by One Hundred Sands Limited against the government’s decision to revoke its casino licence.
"The casino will then support the members of the fund. The FNPF will further diversify its portfolio and pull in higher returns for its 340,000 members, the ordinary workers of Fiji," the minister said.
The business community was upset when the country's casino project had fallen over but was confident the government would get it right later as it was still alien a few years ago.
