Beschreibung:
The Caribbean region has performed reasonably well in recent years, but production and exports are still relatively concentrated in a few activities. This occasional paper focuses on the independent states that are full members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The paper discusses recent developments in the Caribbean region and lays out the principal policy issues that countries will need to address in the period ahead. The regional view throws light on the structure of the Caribbean economies in broad terms and countries' movement toward convergence.
