Workers in Fiji should make it their business to save money for their future and equally so, must plan for their retirement.
This was the message from Public Service permanent secretary, Parmesh Chand and Westpac Fiji general manager, Adrian Hughes as they jointly opened the Retirement Planning Expo at Nakasi on Saturday.
Mr Chand said the expo provided a platform to promote government’s available products and this also included private sector organisations which offered a range of services for the retiring population.
Mr Hughes said planning for the future and retirement is a critical aspect of any person’s life.
“We believe that retirement is an integral part of a person’s life and holding such an expo in Fiji is critical to ensuring that people think about what they want to do during retirement and what they need to have to ensure that retirement is a time of peace of mind and enjoyment,” he said.
The PSC through its Fiji Volunteer Services (FVS) Scheme is offering opportunities to which retirees or would be retirees and youths could be involved in.
