Civil society groups in Fiji are demanding the government make drastic changes to its economic management amid the covid-19 pandemic. 

They say this follows a drop in the country's budget transparency score in a recently released international survey.

According to the International Budget Partnership Fiji's budget transparency score fell two points from its 2017 score to 39 out of a 100.
