The economy of Fiji is one of the most developed among the Pacific islands. Nevertheless, Fiji is a developing country endowed with forest, mineral and fish resources. The country has a large agriculture sector heavily based on subsistence agriculture. Sugar exports and the tourism industry are the main sources of foreign exchange. There are also light manufacturing and mining sectors.

The country's petroleum production remains at zero despite previous hints at reserves, and it relies entirely on imports to meet its refined petroleum product needs.

As of 2025, Fiji's population was estimated to be approximately 949,992, reflecting a 0.73% increase from the previous year. The country's tallest building is the 30-story Grand Fijian Tower in Suva.
