Asian Development Outlook 2009 Update

Asian Development Outlook 2009 Update: Tonga

Growth is expected to resume in FY2010 at about 0.5%, a revision from the ADO 2009 forecast for a continued contraction. The domestic content of capital works that are being supported by concessionary funding from the People's Republic of China is now expected to be higher than originally thought, raising its contribution to GDP. However, the economy remains highly vulnerable to external conditions, notably changes in remittance inflows.

Reports
Tonga and ADB
Tonga has received $57.79 million in loans since joining ADB in 1972. ADB changed its operational emphasis in 1992 when technical assistance began to focus on macroeconomic policies, the investment climate, and public sector performance. .
