Fiji’s Personal Property Securities Registry is now live, making Fiji the 9th country PSDI has helped to establish a secured transactions framework.
The registry and its underpinning legislation will increase access to finance by making it easier for lenders to accept movable property as loan security. Along with being fast, cheap, and convenient, the registry provides certainty to lenders that their claim over a pledged asset is secure.
As it is doing elsewhere, PSDI will continue to support the development of loan products in Fiji that make use of this new lending framework, with a particular focus on the agricultural sector.
The registry can be found at https://ppsr.gov.fj/
