Economist fear devaluation of Fiji dollar will affect country's poor
Updated
Fiji's Council of Social Services says it expects the poorest in the country will soon start feeling the affect of the devaluation of the country's dollar.
On wednesday Fiji's Reserve Bank ordered the reduction in the dollar value by 20 percent, hoping this would attract tourist and investors. But the move comes at the same time as the interim government enforced a retirement age of 55, something it had been blocked from doing before the President scrapped the constitution.
