What are the Economic and Fiscal Indicator Factsheets?
The Treasury Division publishes the Economic and Fiscal Indicator Factsheets on a regular basis to provide a high-level snapshot of the state and performance of Vanuatu's economy. These factsheets include the most recent data from the Department of Finance and Treasury (DoFT), the Vanuatu Bureau of Statistics (VBoS), and the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu (RBV) on economic production, inflation, trade, fiscal performance, and the labour market.
The purpose of these factsheets is to:
- Provide a snapshot of the economy using key indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and public debt.
- Enhance transparency by ensuring that the Government of Vanuatu's financial position is clear and easily accessible.
- Support policymaking by supplying information that informs internal analysis and external communication on the effectiveness of government policies.
More detailed economic and fiscal information can also be found in the Quarterly Economic Reports. These are also available in the Economy section of the DoFT website.
