Summary:
The fallout from the global pandemic crisis is hitting St. Vincent and the Grenadines hard. Tourism receipts (accounting for nearly 30 percent of GDP) have dried up, as tourism arrivals have come to a complete halt. The economy is now projected to contract by 5.5 percent —7.8 percentage points below pre-COVID-19 projections. Local outbreaks of COVID-19 have thus far been contained.
