Vanuatu’s economy is projected to grow further by 3.2% in 2013 driven largely by construction and infrastructure development and the tourism sector. As the United States economy gradually recovers and unemployment falls, remittances to Tonga are expected to improve. This combined with construction and infrastructure projects along with the tourism sector could help Tonga’s economy to grow by 0.5% in 2013. Diversification of these economies will always remain a challenge.
