The ex­ec­u­tive board of the In­ter­na­tion­al Mon­e­tary Fund (IMF) says the mem­ber coun­tries of the East­ern Caribbean Cur­ren­cy Union (EC­CU) have achieved a strong re­bound from suc­ces­sive ad­verse shocks.

The EC­CU groups to­geth­er the is­lands of An­guil­la, An­tigua and Bar­bu­da, Do­mini­ca, Grena­da, Montser­rat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lu­cia, and St. Vin­cent and the Grenadines

The IMF has said that the EC­CU has pro­vid­ed a strong an­chor for macro­eco­nom­ic sta­bil­i­ty and that in 2024, strong tourism per­for­mance and con­tin­ued in­fra­struc­ture in­vest­ments have sup­port­ed ro­bust growth of 3.9 per cent, and in­fla­tion mod­er­at­ed to be­low two per cent in tune with glob­al trends.
