Summary

This 2009 Article IV Consultation highlights that economic activity in Grenada is slowing significantly, reflecting the drag of the global crisis on tourism receipts, foreign direct investment, and remittances. Commercial banks have remained resilient, but the intervention of the Trinidad and Tobago-based CL Financial Group has heightened financial uncertainty. All quantitative targets for end-June 2009 were met. Executive Directors have commended the Grenadian authorities for the satisfactory performance of their economic program under these highly challenging circumstances.
