Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Holds Steady Growth Near 2.9%

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is forecast to grow around 2.9% in 2026, placing it among the Eastern Caribbean’s steadier performers as tourism, agriculture and construction sustain activity. Like its OECS neighbours, the multi-island state remains reliant on imported fuel, leaving electricity and transport costs exposed to the global energy spike, while high public debt and climate vulnerability persist as structural risks. The modest but stable trajectory reflects a small economy holding its ground, with regional cooperation through the OECS and the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union providing a measure of shared resilience.
