Economic survey of the Caribbean 2005-2006

This survey examines the macroeconomic performance of selected countries of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC) for 2005 and their outlook for 2006.

In 2005, the majority of Caribbean countries moderated their rate of growth with respect to the previous year, partly due to the adverse effects of external shocks, including natural disasters, and the sharp increase in the international price of oil.
