Grenada Economy

Economy - overview: In this island economy progress in fiscal
reforms and prudent macroeconomic management have kept annual growth
steady since 1998. The increase in economic activity has been led by
construction and trade. Tourist facilities are being expanded;
tourism is the leading foreign exchange earner. Major short-term
concerns are the rising fiscal deficit and the deterioration in the
external account balance. Grenada shares a common central bank and a
common currency with seven other members of the Organization of
Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

GDP: purchasing power parity - $394 m
