Statistics

In order to offer a deeper and more detailed view of Oceania, we attach some UN ESCAP Pacific subregion statistics that provide diverse data of the region. We should recall that "Oceania" is not regarded as a region by the ESCAP; however the ESCAP does have a Subregional Office for the Pacific, which covers Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federated States of), Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, as well as American Samoa, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Guam, New Caledonia, Niue and the Northern Mariana Islands as associate members. All graphs are provided by the ESCAP Statistical Online database. For specific statistics of each of the 11 Pacific Islands, check the World Bank’s site.
