Business leadership in Tonga lacks women’s representation, says report

The proportion of women in business leadership has mostly remained steady since 2021, in Tonga, where men still hold over four out of every five board director positions, and the number of boards with no women directors at all has increased, from 22% in 2021 to 31% in 2024, according to a new report published by the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB’s) Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI).
