As Government Statistician it is my great pleasure to welcome you to this website, a new initiative of the Vanuatu Statistics Office (VSO), Vanuatu's official statistical agency. The technology we now have available has enabled us to utilise a number of media to disseminate and publish statistical information, and internet publishing is no exception. I hope you enjoy looking at what www.vanuatustatistics.gov.vu has to offer and the summary statistics on the economic, social and demographic characteristics of Vanuatu. 

The main purpose of this site is to provide essential facts to users of statistics. More detailed data for economic, social and demographic analysis is available from the 'traditional' publications available from the VSO. If the information you are searching for is not on this website, please contact our Office for more detailed publications from our extensive databases. 

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge with sincere gratitude the assistance provided by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's Statistics Programme for the development of this website.
