Overall Score
2022
Vanuatu scores better than the average scores of countries in its region and income group, and higher than the global average, yet there is ample room for improvement relative to top performing countries.
Component Score
2022
Vanuatu scores poorly in affordability change, and in the mid-range in cigarette price, tax share, and tax structure. It would greatly benefit from reducing the cigarette affordability, higher cigarette prices, increasing the tax share of price, and improving the tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Vanuatu's overall score increased from 2016 to 2022. The increase was mainly contributed by an increase in the tax share of prices.
