The majority of Tuvalu’s population is involved in agriculture and fishing. Funds from seafarers working on overseas vessels are a significant source of income for Tuvalu families.

In the late 1980’s the government of Tuvalu set up a publicly owned investment fund project to provide a safety net against fluctuations in government income. The earnings of the Tuvalu Trust Fund are used to help the government finance the gap between its annual budgeted revenue and expenditure.

The Governments of Australia, New Zealand and the UK have all made large contributions to the Tuvalu Trust Fund, with smaller grants coming from Japan and the Republic of Korea.
