Caribbean Region Quarterly Bulletin: Volume 2: Issue 3: August 2013

The Caribbean Region Quarterly Bulletin provides economic conjunctural and structural information about this particular region. This issue highlights the real growth that remained weak during the first half of 2013 in The Bahamas, Barbados and Jamaica. On the other hand, Guyana and Suriname are expected to outperform the region with an average growth rate of 5% in 2013. There are some signs of recovery in Trinidad and Tobago, however, growth in the energy sector has not taken off yet.
