The South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) has become the latest member of the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (UN SSE) initiative, a global partnership of over 130 exchanges aimed at promoting sustainable development.
The move signals SPX’s growing commitment to sustainable finance and aligns with Fiji’s national priorities on social and environmental resilience.
In joining the UN SSE, SPX gains access to a wealth of global resources, best practices, and peer exchange opportunities that will support the Exchange’s market development agenda, including initiatives around green finance, sustainability reporting, and stakeholder engagement.
SPX Chief Executive Sheraj Obeyesekere welcomed the development, describing it as an important step in promoting a market that not only drives economic growth but also encourages inclusive and responsible development.
“For us in the Pacific, one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change, embedding sustainability is not just good governance, but a necessity for resilience and long-term value creation,” he said.
SPX joins the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange (TTSE) as new members, both representing small island nations grappling with climate change, economic resilience, and social equity.
