| UTC Offset: UTC +12 |
Fiji Time (FJT) operates at UTC+12 year-round and is the official time zone for the entire Republic of Fiji in the South Pacific. Fiji previously observed daylight saving as Fiji Summer Time (FJST, UTC+13), but this practice was suspended after January 2021. Sometimes referred to as "Fiji Standard Time," FJT provides a stable time reference for coordinating government, tourism, and community life across the islands.
Importance and Global Use of FJT
Fiji Time (FJT) is crucial for managing public administration, education, transport, and tourism — which is a key economic driver for the country. The consistent UTC+12 offset helps residents and visitors plan activities, travel, and services across Fiji's main islands, ensuring reliable daily routines for communities and businesses.
On a global level, FJT supports trade, telecommunications, and international travel across the Pacific region. Its alignment with nearby countries like New Zealand and parts of eastern Russia helps streamline business, tourism connections, and diplomatic relations, reinforcing Fiji's role as a hub for Pacific cooperation.
