About Fiji Time (FJT)
Fiji Time (FJT, IANA: Pacific/Fiji) is the civil time of the Republic of Fiji, set at UTC+12:00. Fiji observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to FJST = UTC+13) from approximately early November to mid-January each year per Fijian government decree (the exact schedule varies by year — typically announced 1-2 months in advance by the Office of the Prime Minister). FJT is identical in offset to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), Tuvalu Time, Marshall Islands Time, Wallis and Futuna Time, and Nauru Time. Fiji is one of the first inhabited countries to see each new calendar day (along with Kiribati's Line Islands at UTC+14 — the world's eastern-most permanent time zone), which has made Fiji a popular destination for 'first sunrise of the new year' tourism. FJT serves approximately 935,000 Fijian citizens across 332 islands (110 inhabited) including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Kadavu. Major FJT cities: Suva (94K city, 175K metro — capital on Viti Levu), Nadi (45K — main international airport gateway + tourism hub on western Viti Levu), Lautoka (53K — second-largest city), Labasa (28K — Vanua Levu commercial center), Ba (15K), Levuka (1K — historic former capital + UNESCO World Heritage Site). Affects: South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) Suva trading, Fijian sugar-cane harvest export shipping, and Coral-coast + Mamanuca-island resort tourism.
About West Africa Time (WAT)
West Africa Time (WAT, IANA: Africa/Lagos, Africa/Kinshasa) is the civil time for West African and Central African countries, set at UTC+1:00 year-round (no DST). WAT serves approximately 350 million people across: Algeria, Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, DR Congo (western half), Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Niger, Nigeria, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tunisia. WAT is the same offset as Central European Time (CET) in winter, easing African business coordination with Western European partners. Major WAT cities: Lagos Nigeria (15M metro — the largest city in Africa and home to one of the world's fastest-growing populations), Kinshasa DRC (17M metro), Algiers (3.7M metro), Tunis (2.4M metro), Yaoundé (2.8M), Douala (2.7M), Brazzaville (1.8M), Luanda (8M metro), N'Djamena (1.4M). The eastern half of the DRC uses Central Africa Time (CAT = UTC+2). Affects: Nollywood film-industry production in Lagos, African Union meetings, Lagos NGX (Nigerian Exchange Group) trading hours, and Lagos-São Paulo + Lagos-Buenos Aires Atlantic-shipping schedules.
