Caribbean economies are starting the New Year on a strong note, with the World Bank’s latest projections, expecting steady growth across the region.

Guyana leads with 23% growth, boosted by its oil and gas sector, boosting regional growth to 5.8%.

Excluding Guyana, the Caribbean still sees healthy expansion at 3.1%.

 Dominica, Grenada, Suriname, and Trinidad & Tobago are poised for growth around 3%, while tourism-driven economies like Barbados and St. Lucia show steady momentum. 

However, Jamaica’s growth is slower, averaging 1.7% from 2025 to 2027, and Haiti faces a 2.2% contraction, due to political and security instability.
