Informal Remittance Systems in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Countries: Fiji Country Study

Although there has been emigration from the Fiji islands on a large scale since the late 1980s, there is little data available on remitting in general, let alone informal (unrecorded) remitting. Some of the literature on other significant sources of migration from the South Pacific (especially Tonga and Samoa) has been reviewed to help clarify the distinctive features of the Fiji case and to provide some indications of the kind of study of remitting that could be made for Fiji.
