Fiji Cost of Living Goes Up Again
A SHARP rise of 8 points in the unofficial index of European cost of living in Fiji has occurred since the end of the second quarter of this year.
The index number is now 212 (it is based on a figure of 100 for August, 1939).
Due to rises in the cost of living since the Salaries Revision adopted last year, a cost-of-living allowance for Civil servants has been approved.
The allowance will be 10 per cent, on the first £lOO of salary plus 5
per cent, on the next £650. The maximum allowance payable will be £42/10/0 a year.
