FBoS Statement: Update on the Fiji 2019 – 2020 Household Income and Expenditure Survey
In light of the recent World Bank statement issued and additional information provided to the Fiji Bureau of Statistics, the poverty estimates have been revised. To ensure Fiji’s Survey remains in-line with international practices, the department will be releasing the corrections on its website in due course.
A cross-check review exercise for the Fiji 2019-2020 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) by the World Bank’s Poverty & Equity Global Practice Team has resulted in household consumption figures being revised for most Fijian households.
Further details are provided in the technical note.
