Tonga Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2009

Date modified: 24 April 2019 Version 01

Tonga Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2009 (HIES), undertaken by the Tonga Statistics Department during the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009. This is the second survey of its kind in Tonga. The last one was carried out in 2000/01, and the results were used in November 2002 to rebase the Consumer Price Index (CPI). A report from that survey was produced in December 2002, and where possible, results from this report will be made to be comparable to the previous report.

• To provide updated information for the expenditure item weights for the CPI;

• To provide some data for the components of National Accounts; and

• To provide information on the nature and distribution of household income and expenditure for planners, policy makers, and the general public.
