1 Broad-Based Growth: The Caribbean Experience NITA THACKER WESTERN HEMISPHERE DEPARTMENT INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
2 Outline Caribbean: Some stylized facts Broad Based Growth: Caribbean Experience Policies for broad based growth in the Caribbean
3 Caribbean: stylized facts Largest group of small states Constrained by relatively small size, most are service based, economies of scale difficult to achieve Output and/or exports rely heavily on one or two industries Susceptible to natural disasters
4 Per capita GDP (PPP basis) in the Caribbean is highest among peers. Real per capita GDP PPP, weighted averages (Constant 25 US$) 12, 1, 8, , 4, 2, Asia-Pacific islands 1/ Caribbean Small islands Small islands non-caribbean Middle-income countries Sources: World Bank, World Development Indicators; IMF, World Economic Outlook; and IMF staff calculations. 1/ The average in 198 only includes Fiji, Kiribati, Maldives, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu. The average in 28 additionally included Micronesia, Fed. Sts., and Samoa.
5 However, there is significant variation among countries Real per capita GDP PPP (Constant 25 US$) Population (In thousands) 3, 3, 25, 2,5 2, 2, 15, 1, 5, Simple Average $12,65 1,5 1, 5 Simple Average 527 Sources: World Bank, World Development Indicators; IMF, World Economic Outlook; and IMF staff calculations.

Dominica Brazil Guyana Jordan Poland Uruguay Malaysia Mauritius Morocco Argentina Philippines Bahamas, The Mexico Turkey Panama Tunisia Latvia Costa Rica High public sector debt has also been a drag on growth 2 16 Public Sector Debt in Selected Emerging Markets / Developing Countries, end 21 (In percent of GDP) average 1/ Sources: IMF, World Economic Outlook; and Fund staff calculations. 1/ Selected emerging and developing economies.
8 Broad based growth: What does this mean? More diversified production base and exports More diversified sources of external demand Improving the standard of living for everyone
9 Services has replaced agriculture as a major source of growth in the Caribbean ECCU: Sectoral Real GDP (In percent) 1% Fiji: Sectoral Real GDP (In percent) 1% 8% 6% % 6% % 2% % Agriculture Manufacturing Tourism Other services 4% 2% % Agriculture Manufacturing Tourism Other services Sources: Country authorities; and IMF staff calculations.

12 But income inequality is a concern Country Year Gini Antigua and Barbuda Belize Dominica Grenada St. Kitts and Nevis 28.4 St. Lucia St. Vincent and the Grenadines 28.4 Trinidad and Tobago Maldives Micronesia, Fed.Sts Seychelles Turkey 28.4 Korea United States Sources: World Bank, World Developmnet Indicators ; various Country Poverty Assessment Reports; U.S. Census Bureau; CIA World Factbook;and IMF staff calculations.
13 And unemployment is high in many countries Unemployment is high, especially in the ECCU countries (all in double digits) Your unemployment as high as 4 percent in some countries Significant underemployment despite government incentives to firms
14 What are the key challenges to broad based growth in small economies? Size of the domestic market Distance to external markets Lack of infrastructure (high energy and transportation costs, ports and customs) Access to credit (especially for SMEs and small farmers) Lack of skills (that fit the rapid changes in technology)
15 Tourism has a positive effect on growth that more than compensates for being a small island Caribbean: Factors Contributing to Growth vis-à-vis the World (Percent) Arrivals / population Investment / GDP Size Small islands -3
16 Government policies to overcome diseconomies of scale and generate growth Regional integration (OECS 8-point stabilization program and broader CARICOM Single Market Economy) Harmonization of regulations Reduction of barriers to the regional movement of labor Liberalization of air transport services Mutual recognition of technical and vocational certificates Gradual divestiture (TCL) Skill development (education revolution and distance learning programs)
17 Successful private sector initiatives in the Caribbean have focused on Targeting the regional market Partnering with international companies and organizations Expanding to higher-skill-intensive products
18 Some takeaways Tourism is main driver of growth Productivity is key to sustained growth High public debt is a drag on growth Government can play a key role (regional integration, infrastructure) Private sector is ultimate driver of growth)
