Kiribati’s services value added, measured as a share of gross domestic product, stood at 65.49 in 2025, placing the nation 49th in the world and just below peers such as Uruguay (65.60) and the European Union (65.78). The indicator has risen modestly from its earliest recorded level of 61.74 in 1979, yet it remains well short of the all‑time peak of 75.92 reached in 1982, a high point that reflected a brief expansion of tourism and offshore financial services before the sector contracted sharply. The trough of 49.81 in 1993 coincided with severe fiscal stress and a decline in external demand, after which gradual diversification and modest investment in digital services have lifted the share back above the mid‑60s. Over the 46‑year series, the upward trajectory since the 1990s suggests that continued development of connectivity infrastructure and climate‑resilient service industries could sustain incremental gains in the coming decade.
