Tuvalu

Tuvalu: Country Brief

Tuvalu is a small Pacific island state for which the available dataset carries only a narrow set of economic and capability indicators, with no governance series at all.

Economy

Tuvalu's gross domestic product stood at $62.28 million in 2023, per the World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI). GDP per capita was $6,344.78 the same year, also per World Bank WDI. Population was recorded at 9,646 in 2024, per World Bank WDI. Government debt stood at 3.2% of GDP, per the IMF's World Economic Outlook (WEO), carried for 2026.

Security and capability

The Correlates of War (COW) National Material Capabilities dataset records zero active military personnel for Tuvalu in 2022, and assigns it a Composite Index of National Capability (CINC) score of 2.1488398e-07 for the same year — a figure reflecting a state with no standing armed force among the capabilities COW tracks.

Energy

Primary energy consumption is recorded at 0.0 exajoules for 2023, per Our World in Data's energy series.

Data gaps

No governance indicators (V-Dem or otherwise) are present in this bundle. No SIPRI military-expenditure data, no reserves figure, and no electricity or fuel-production data are available for Tuvalu. The zero reading for primary energy consumption should be read as an absence of recorded data rather than confirmed zero consumption.
