IMF Logs 4.5% Dominica Growth on Record Tourism, Urges Further Citizenship Reform

The International Monetary Fund recorded 4.5% annual growth for Dominica, driven by record tourist arrivals, while urging the island to keep reforming its citizenship-by-investment programme to meet tightening international standards. Dominica also suspended new citizenship applications from Iranian nationals earlier this year.

The diaspora read is two-sided: opportunity in a tourism-led recovery and “Nature Isle” investment, against the risk that the island’s lowest-cost-in-the-region passport route faces growing external pressure. Anyone mid-application should track due-diligence changes closely.
