Exchange Rate Arrangement: Dominica is a member of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union, which has a common central bank, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, and currency, the Eastern Caribbean dollar. Since July 1976, the Eastern Caribbean dollar has been pegged to the U.S. dollar at the rate of EC$2.70 per U.S. dollar. Dominica has accepted the obligations of Article VIII, Sections 2, 3, and 4. Dominica maintains an exchange system free of restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions.
Safeguards Assessment: Under the Fund’s safeguards policy, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) is subject to a full safeguards assessment on a four-year cycle. An update assessment was completed in April 2016 and found that the ECCB has maintained generally strong controls over its key operations. External audit and financial reporting practices remain sound. The ECCB financial statements are compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards and are published on a timely basis. The internal audit function needs to be reformed to align it with leading international practices and oversight could be further strengthened by enhancing the financial expertise of the audit committee.
Article IV Consultation: The last Article IV consultation was concluded by the Executive Board on May 12, 2017. Dominica is on a 12-month cycle.
Technical Assistance: Dominica has received significant technical assistance from Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Center (CARTAC) and the IMF. Technical assistance missions focused on tax reform, revenue administration, expenditure rationalization, financial sector, and Public Financial Management (PFM):

FSAP: A joint IMF/World Bank team performed an assessment of the financial sector of the member states of the ECCU, in two missions—September 1–19 and October 20–31, 2003. The principal objective of the missions was to assist the authorities in assessing the development needs and opportunities for the financial sector and identifying potential vulnerabilities of financial institutions and markets to macroeconomic shocks, as well as the risks to macroeconomic stability from weaknesses and shortcomings in the financial sector. The Financial System Stability Assessment (FSSA) was discussed by the Executive Board on May 5, 2004, and subsequently published on the IMF’s external website, including the Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) on Banking Supervision.
AML/CFT: The most recent assessment of Dominica’s AML/CFT regime was conducted by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force in 2009. Since this assessment, Dominica has taken steps to strengthen its AML/CFT framework. Dominica has not yet been assessed against the prevailing 2012 FATF standard which includes an emphasis on the effectiveness of the framework in place.

Statistical Issues
(As of April 30, 2018)
Dominica — STATISTICAL ISSUES APPENDIX
Dominica — STATISTICAL ISSUES APPENDIX
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance | |
|---|---|
| General: Data provision has shortcomings due to capacity constraints in the statistical agency, and collection at the regional level. Dominica participates in the General Data Dissemination System. However, the metadata were last updated in January 2006 for the national accounts and external sector statistics and December 2002 for the government finance statistics. including weaknesses in coverage, accuracy, frequency, and timeliness of data. Although it is broadly adequate for surveillance, these limitations constrain economic analysis and policy formulation. Particularly, staff’s analysis would benefit from more timely and improved data pertaining to the fiscal accounts, labor, agriculture, and the balance of payments. Efforts to prepare national accounts at a quarterly frequency would also be welcome. The authorities could pursue such improvements in a more cost-effective manner by exploring proposals to centralize statistics. | |
| National accounts: Staff turnover and limited source data have hampered the improvement on real sector statistics. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) currently produces and disseminates annual estimates of GDP by production approach at current and constant 2006 prices; as well as annual current price estimates for GDP by expenditure approach, with private final consumption expenditure derived as a residual. The CSO has been trying to develop quarterly GDP by production approach since 2012, but progress has been minimal due to limited staff capacity and source data. A census was conducted in 2011. | |
| Price Statistics: CPI data are compiled monthly. The weights are based on the 2008/09 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) with a base period of June 2010. There is a program to develop export and import price indexes (XMPIs), but a shortage of staff working on price statistics limits developments in CPI methodology and the likelihood that XMPIs will be developed expediently. Data on employment are sparse and there are no official data on producer prices. | |
| Government Finance Statistics: Statistical capacity problems affect the timely production of quality government finance statistics. Monthly data can be obtained, but they show some important shortcomings. Fiscal data should be reconciled between the Inland Revenue Department, Customs, and the Treasury monthly. Efforts should also be directed towards reducing omissions and misclassifications in the data, which would help reduce the need for frequent revisions. Capital expenditure data would benefit from efforts to improve reporting and budgeting data for the public-sector investment program (e.g., project implementation rates, current expended resources, projected resource usage, estimated completion dates, etc.), which are fragmented and subject to continuous revisions. Attention should also be directed towards improving statistics on the financial position of public institutions outside the central government. An automation technology, mandatory for all ministries and suppliers of goods and services was installed in all line ministries in 2005 and is the basis for the reporting. Although progress has been made in improving the measurement of government debt, data show shortcomings and are not tracked continuously. Very limited financing data are available. The authorities do not provide consolidated nonfinancial public-sector data. Data for the rest of the public sector––Dominica Social Security and the public enterprises––are obtained directly from each entity with frequent delays and omissions. No government finance data are reported to STA for publication in the International Financial Statistics (IFS) or the Government Finance Statistics (GFS) Yearbook. | |
| Monetary and Financial Statistics: Monetary statistics are compiled and reported to the Fund by the ECCB monthly based on a standardized report adopted in 2006. The institutional coverage of monetary statistics needs to be improved by including the accounts of mortgage companies, building societies, credit unions, and insurance companies. The lack of published data on credit unions is a serious shortcoming as the sector is large in Dominica. In this respect, coordination between the ECCB and Dominica’s Financial Services Unit (which supervises financial corporations other than those licensed under the Banking Act) could help to resolve this issue. | |
| External sector statistics: In July 2017, the ECCB released annual estimates of 2014–2016 balance of payments and—for the first time—international investment position statistics. Estimates were based on the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Statistics Manual (BPM6) for the eight ECCU member economies, including Dominica. Travel estimates (credits) are sourced from visitor expenditure surveys and now include education-related travel services. Further work is required to release consistent historical data series and improve the timeliness and the coverage of the data, particularly, direct investment transactions due to the low response rates to the surveys. Actions need to be undertaken in collaboration with the ECCB, which coordinates the compilation of external sector statistics of the ECCU economies. | |
| Debt statistics: The debt unit of the Ministry of Finance maintains a database on external debt statistics. These include, public and publicly-guaranteed external loans, debt securities, and other debt instruments that provides detailed information on disbursements, debt service, and debt stocks (the Commonwealth Secretariat Debt Recording and Management System (CS-DRMS) is used). Public and publicly guaranteed external debt data are reported to the World Bank’s Quarterly External Debt Statistics (QEDS). Data on private sector external debt stocks are not available, other than from the monetary survey, in the case of the commercial banks. | |
| II. Data Standards and Quality | |
| Dominica is a participant in the enhanced General Data Dissemination System (e-GDDS since September 2000. Its metadata published on the Fund’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board (http://dsbb.imf.org) was last updated in September 2004. | A Data ROSC for the monetary sector was conducted in 2007, covering the ECCB and ECCU member countries, including Dominica. |
