The Bank of the South Pacific Fiji branch recorded a profit of $69 million last year under the leadership of Country Head, Haroon Ali.

BSP Group Chief Executive, Robin Fleming says the profit recorded is largely attributed to their customer base and the hardworking team.

Fleming also highlighted other sectors within the bank that recorded a profit last year despite the havoc caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The same with BSP Life, policyholder profit and shareholder profit of almost $32m. An asset book of about over almost $1b and BSP Life did continue to invest in businesses.”
