Report by Tonga
The Kingdom of Tonga became a member of the WTO on 27 July 2007. This is the country’s second Trade Policy Review (TPR), following its first in 2014. Tonga is a firm supporter of the rules-based multilateral trading system, which is of particular importance to very small economies that lack the administrative capacity to negotiate and maintain bilateral relationships with all of their trading partners. The Government of Tonga does not have a permanent representative in Geneva, and is represented in WTO matters by the Permanent Delegation of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Geneva, and by Tonga’s High Commission in London.

According to 2018 census data, around 68% of Indonesia’s total population (179.13 million people) is in the productive age (15-64 years old).
