IMF warns Dominica of rising debt and fiscal pressures
IMF flags elevated debt and fiscal imbalances despite current growth in Dominica's economy.
An IMF team completing its 2026 Article IV consultation with Dominica warned that although economic activity has strengthened and growth reached 4.5 percent in 2025, driven by tourism and development projects, the country faces rising debt and fiscal pressures. The IMF notes that the current account deficit remains high due to construction‑related imports, and public debt is still around 103 percent of GDP. Large infrastructure projects, including climate‑resilient roads and geothermal energy, have widened the fiscal deficit. The IMF projects growth to slow to about 3 percent in 2026–27 and flag downside risks from geopolitical tensions, uncertainty over citizenship‑by‑investment revenues, and natural disasters.
