Investment Promotion and Facilitation Strategy 2021

This national strategy, prepared by Avasant Consulting with support from the Commonwealth Secretariat, outlines a comprehensive plan to boost foreign investment in Tonga. 

It analyzes global and local FDI trends, reviews institutional gaps, and identifies four key priority sectors for promotion: tourism, fisheries, agri-processing, and digital services (BPO/CC). 

The strategy includes a SWOT analysis of Tonga’s investment climate, recommends the establishment of a dedicated investment promotion agency (IPA), and details actionable policy reforms, sector-specific incentives, and outreach tactics. It also proposes a phased implementation plan to enhance institutional coordination, investor targeting, and service delivery.
