Asian Development Outlook 2009 Update: Kiribati
Forecasts for Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu are unchanged from ADO 2009. Kiribati's GDP growth estimate for 2008 has been raised to 3.4% from a preliminary 0.6% in ADO 2009. Growth is pegged at 1.0% in 2009 and 0.9% in 2010, slower than in 2008 owing to the impact of weakened world trade volumes on the employment of Kiribati seafarers and their remittances.
