The New Zealand Fiji Business Council (NZFBC) was established in 1987 with the purpose of maintaining a link and communications between businesses in New Zealand and Fiji. The Council is apolitical and has withstood the effects of changing times, events and the political landscape.

​

The NZFBC is a membership based organisation with members throughout New Zealand –– a truly national body. Members come from a variety of industry sectors including individual consultants, SMEs, New Zealand’s largest companies as well as multi-billion dollar turnover companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

The Council has a sister organisation based in Fiji, the “Fiji New Zealand Business Council (FNZBC)”. Both organisations collaborate on a number of events including business missions and joint annual conferences. Collectively the Councils boast a membership of approximately over 200. Both Councils are recognised by their respective governments as the body representing business in their respective countries.

​

Today, both Councils provide business networking and advocacy for the members. The NZFBC is very active, with networking events, Ministerial meetings and regular newsletter updates.

​

Fiji is New Zealand’s largest trading partner in the Pacific and in the top twenty internationally. Two-way trade has been in growth mode, with trade in goods and services surpassing a billion dollars.  The councils’ membership has grown in response to this vibrant economic relationship.

​

The Council works closely with and is supported by the Fiji New Zealand Business Council, the Fiji Trade Commission Office in New Zealand, New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Pacific Trade Invest (NZ), and engages with the Fiji High Commission in Wellington and the New Zealand High Commission in Fiji.

​

If you are a New Zealand business doing work in Fiji, working with Fijian businesses, investing in Fiji or looking to do build a relationship, then you should look to become a member of the NZFBC.
