St. Kitts and Nevis: Third Review Under the Stand-By Arrangement, Financing Assurances Review and Request for Waivers of Applicability—Staff Report and Press Release on the Executive Board Discussion
October 15, 2012
Summary
Economic activity is estimated to have softened below program expectations in January-March 2012, due to a continued contraction in the construction sector which dominated a relatively strong outturn in tourism. Despite this growth underperformance and the continued global uncertainty, the authorities have successfully implemented their home-grown economic program. While the outlook is for a moderate economic recovery, uncertain external conditions continue to present downside risks to growth.
