Dominica: Staff Report for the 1999 Article IV Consultation, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2000) accessed November 24, 2024

Summary

Economic growth averaged about 2.5 percent a year in the 1990s, and the structure of the economy continued to move away from agriculture as the key banana sector contracted further. Broad money has continued to grow at a slightly higher rate than nominal GDP. At the same time, commercial banks expanded credit to the private sector at a fast pace during 1998–99. Executive Directors welcomed the authorities' plan to broaden the tax base by replacing a number of indirect taxes with a value-added tax.
