Notes

Debt ratio reached 113% of GDP in 2025. Under unchanged policies the IMF projects the ratio rises to roughly 145% of GDP by 2031, well above the ECCU 60% benchmark. Growth moderated to 3.7% in 2025 and is expected to decelerate further toward 2.7% in the medium term. Staff judge that the primary balance would have to improve by some 11 percentage points of GDP across 2027–29 to put debt on a downward path; the latest single-year primary balance figure is pending the staff report.
