TONGA

Development outcomes in the remote island archipelago of Tonga are relatively strong compared with other Pacific island member countries but progress has been volatile. Absolute poverty is rare, health and education indicators are relatively strong, and Tonga has made good progress against most MDG indicators. Like many other small and remote island economies, however, Tonga's development prospects are shaped by it economic geography. The economy is highly vulnerable to external shocks. The World Bank Group has vastly increased support for Tonga, structured around the themes of supporting economic reform; generating opportunities through greater global and regional integration; and building resilience against shocks. World Bank Group engagement with Tonga is also building on the successes that have been achieved to date, like the support for the telecoms revolution that has increased the number of Tongans with access to mobile phone services from 6% to 60% of the population.
