The Quarterly Bulletin analyzes recent economic developments of The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. The Special Country Reports consider trends in tourism, and policy options for the sector. For Guyana, the report examines one of this country's main sources of external income: remittances from citizens living abroad. For Suriname, the report discusses options for establishing fiscal discipline and attracting private sector participation in the country's development amid increasing expectations. The Bulletin also includes a section on recent developments in the countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
