ANZ will be investing close to $9 million to upgrade ANZ House in Suva which now houses its Pacific and Fiji headquarters along with its main Fijian retail branch.
ANZ Fiji acting chief executive, Rakesh Ram, described this as an important investment for the bank’s customers and staff.
“It is also an essential upgrade to appropriately incorporate our new Pacific Headquarters and existing Fiji Headquarters into our premises,” he said in a statement.
“The property upgrade is being carried out in line with the ANZ Global Corporate Guidelines.
“We have endeavoured to support local Fiji businesses by purchasing as much as possible in-country.”
The ANZ House upgrade will be completed by December 2013.
Earlier this year, ANZ shifted its Pacific Headquarters from Melbourne to Suva, taking advantage of Government incentives for global organisations to establish their regional headquarters in Fiji.
