| Summary |
1. Dominica is a highly vulnerable, small island economy. It shares many characteristics with other Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) members (Figures 1-4): it depends on tourism, foreign investment, and remittances; has a high debt level; has large current account deficits; and is vulnerable to external shocks due to its high degree of openness and elevated risk of natural disasters. Like other small island states, it has a relatively large government. Commodity exports have shown a secular downward trend for some decades, and the erosion of EU trade preferences has reduced implicit transfers from 5 percent of GDP in 1996-2001 to 1 1/2 percent in 2001-05 |
