Is Tonga a rich or poor country?

Tonga is an archipelagic nation located in the South Pacific Ocean, close to the coasts of Fiji, Samoa and New Zealand. It is considered a developing nation, with a GDP of $600 million as of 2020.

Tonga has a relatively small population of just over 100,000 people and a low unemployment rate of 3.2%. The country has made significant progress in recent years in terms of economic development, and its economy is largely based on fishing, tourism, and agricultural exports. Despite this, Tonga remains one of the poorest countries in the Pacific region, with a per capita income of approximately US$3,700.

Tonga has made progress in terms of poverty reduction, largely due to the country's focus on education and health. The government has also implemented several projects to promote economic development and improve social services, such as the Tonga Community Support Program. Despite this, the country has been hit hard by the global economic crisis and is facing increasing levels of inequality. As a result, Tonga is still considered to be a relatively poor country.
