General Overview: The archipelago of "The Friendly Islands"
was united into a Polynesian kingdom in 1845. It became a constitutional
monarchy in 1875 and a British protectorate in 1900. Tonga acquired
its independence in 1970 and became a member of the Commonwealth
of Nations. It remains the only monarchy in the Pacific.
Economic
Overview: Tonga, a small, open, South Pacific island economy,
has a narrow export base in agricultural goods. Squash, coconuts,
bananas, and vanilla beans are the main crops, and agricultural
exports make up two-thirds of total exports. The country must
import a high proportion of its food, mainly from New Zealand.
Tourism is the second-largest source of hard currency earnings
following remittances. The country remains dependent on external
aid and remittances from Tongan communities overseas to offset
its trade deficit. The government is emphasizing the development
of the private sector, especially the encouragement of investment,
and is committing increased funds for health and education.
Tonga has a reasonably sound basic infrastructure and well-developed
social services. High unemployment among the young and the continuing
upturn in inflation are major issues facing the government.
International
Disputes: None
