What Tonga's economic profile is telling you

Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions and can have different reference years.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance appears only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
