Officials from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu have completed expert training to manage their sovereign debt using the Commonwealth Meridian system.
The Commonwealth Secretariat partnered with the Government of Fiji to host a regional training workshop in Nadi from 28 February to 8 March 2024.
The training was designed to equip officials from finance ministries and central banks with the skills needed to record, manage and report on various types of debt using Meridian.
Officials also received step-by-step guidance on migrating their debt records to the new system and engaged in discussions focused on ensuring data quality and integrity.
