In an environment of heightened global risks
Actions needed to enhance inclusive growth and fiscal sustainability
Willemstad/Philipsburg – Curaçao and Sint Maarten have demonstrated resilience by recording a stronger recovery from the pandemic than initially anticipated. The countries maintained steady economic growth throughout 2024 and this momentum is expected to continue into 2025. However, significant global uncertainties, structural vulnerabilities, and ongoing fiscal pressures pose risks to the medium-term outlook. “To safeguard economic stability and promote sustainable and inclusive growth, both governments must prioritize critical public reforms, particularly in healthcare and social security, and bolster resilience to external shocks”, recommended President of the Centrale Bank van Curaçao and Sint Maarten, Richard Doornbosch, in the CBCS’ March 2025 Economic Bulletin.
