Tonga Chamber of Commerce

TCCI posted on their official facebook page saying “We are excited to announce the launch of Business Link Pacific's (BLP) Business Support Grants for Businesses in Tonga.”

“Funded by the New Zealand Government, these grants are designed to stimulate growth, innovation, access to finance, and investment in social inclusion and climate adaptation for small to medium sized businesses (SME's) in Tonga.”

This week the Prime Minister told Parliament high interest rates are discouraging people from borrowing which is contributing to the closure of businesses.

But the president of the Tonga Chamber of Commerce, John Paul Chapman, says the Prime Minister has been misinformed.
