Abstract
Savings and Investment are key requirements for growth in developing countries. This research examined the savings behavior of the two ethnic communities in Fiji, Indo-Fijians and Fijians. It found that the Fijians generally do not save and those who save, their savings rates are low. On the other hand, most of the Indo-Fijians save and their savings rate are also high relatively. Apart from the identified market market factors, Fijians have an added factor that tends to drain off any excess income that they can save.
