How FJD works
The Fijian dollar is Fiji's national currency and an important Pacific unit for tourism, agriculture, services and regional commerce.
The Reserve Bank of Fiji issues the national currency and manages monetary and exchange-rate policy for the island economy.
- FJD is divided into 100 cents and replaced the Fijian pound when Fiji decimalized in 1969.
- The Reserve Bank manages the Fijian dollar against a basket of partner currencies rather than one fixed public USD parity.
Context
Why this currency matters
FJD is a practical Pacific reference because Fiji serves as a regional transport, education and tourism hub. Its 1969 decimal transition separates current dollar amounts from older pound records, while the currency-basket framework reflects Fiji's diversified external relationships rather than dependence on one trading partner.
