Abstract
The financial sector plays a critical and pivotal role in the
growth and development of any country. One of the critical factors that affects the role of this sector is the market structure in
which financial institutions operate. If the market structure provides substantial market power to one or few firms, then it is
likely that these firms would produce results that are not optimal.
This study examines the banking sector in Fiji and assesses
whether banks have substantial market power. Results show that
indeed banks do hold substantial market power.
