### Overview and main conclusion
- Dominica has made significant progress over the past decade in strengthening its macroeconomic policy management.
- The 2011 Article IV Consultation report concludes that Dominica is emerging from the crisis.
- Growth turned positive in 2010.
- Near-term prospects are weighed down by tepid demand and the need for fiscal consolidation.

### Fiscal assessment and recommendations
- Executive Directors endorse that fiscal policies need to be returned to a sounder footing to correct the weakening fiscal position.
- Given weakening revenues, IMF staff believes that achieving the authorities’ target will necessitate additional fiscal measures beyond those envisaged in the budget.
- Policy implication: the authorities should implement further fiscal measures in addition to those already in the budget to hit their fiscal targets.

### Staff analysis highlights
- Positive but fragile recovery: growth resumed in 2010, but momentum is limited by weak demand.
- Fiscal vulnerability: weakening revenues have eroded the fiscal position and require corrective action.
- Staff view: additional fiscal consolidation is necessary to restore fiscal soundness.
