The article offers data on the economic and political structure of Tonga as well as economic and political risk forecasts for the country for 2014-2015. It is expected that any attempt by King Tupou VI to reverse the country's move towards democracy will be met with strong resistance. Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to pick up modestly to 1.3% and 1.5% during the forecast period, due to stronger global growth and a gradual fall in unemployment in the U.S.
