Abstract
Eastern Caribbean Currency Union: 2017 Discussion on Common Policies of Member Countries-Press Release and Staff Report
Recent Developments
1. Economy activity decelerated in 2016, reflecting flat tourism receipts and falling revenues from citizenship programs. GDP growth fell slightly from 2.6 percent in 2015 to an estimated 2 percent in 2016 (Figure 1). Tourist inflows were steady, with stay-over arrivals growing by 3 percent, mostly from the U.S., while visitors from the U.K. continued to decline (Figure 2). Nonetheless, despite higher arrivals, tourism receipts were virtually flat (Table 6). The inflow of revenues from Citizenship-By-Investment (CBI) programs decelerated, weakening construction activity in St. Kitts and Nevis and, to a lesser extent, in Antigua and Barbuda. Declining commodity and food prices and a negative output gap continued to exercise downward pressure on inflation.

Additionally, in Grenada, the debt restructuring has taken place with significant impact on the debt-to-GDP ratio.

Fiscal years for Dominica, Montserrat (since 2010) and St. Lucia.
In Anguilla and Antigua, the baselines include banks resolution with important fiscal consolidation commitments that lower significantly the debt-to-GDP ratio over the projection horizon. Additionally, in Grenada, the debt restructuring has taken place with significant impact on the debt-to-GDP ratio.
An estimate of the bank resolution cost is included for 2016 for Anguilla, and 2015 for Antinuga in Barbuda.
Includes external arrears.
Interest payments from 2009 are on accrual basis.
The increase (decrease) in implicit domestic (external) interest rate in 2010 is due to the projected repayment of domestic debt financed by external borrowing, resulting in a large decline (increase) in year-end domestic (external) debt outstanding.
