Risks to the near-term outlook are balanced, but growth in the ECCU continues to be hindered by weak competitiveness, banking sector fragilities, susceptibility to natural disasters, and large public debt. The Executive Directors have encouraged the authorities to press ahead with sound macroeconomic policies and structural reforms to decisively address these issues and strengthen the conditions for robust long term growth.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2016/333Banks and BankingimfFinance: GeneralimfPublic FinanceimfBusiness and FinancialimfNatural DisastersimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfClimateimfNatural Disasters and Their ManagementimfGlobal WarmingimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfBankingimfPublic finance & taxationimfNatural disastersimfFinancial services law & regulationimfFinanceimfPublic debtimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfFinancial regulation and supervisionimfEnvironmentimfCommercial banksimfFinancial institutionsimfInterest rate parityimfFinancial servicesimfBanks and bankingimfDebts, PublicimfFinance, PublicimfFinancial services industryimfLaw and legislationimfInterest ratesimfCaribbean AreaEconomic conditionsEastern Caribbean Currency UnionimfBanks and BankingFinance: GeneralPublic FinanceBusiness and FinancialNatural DisastersBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtClimateNatural Disasters and Their ManagementGlobal WarmingNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralBankingPublic finance & taxationNatural disastersFinancial services law & regulationFinancePublic debtPublic financial management (PFM)Financial regulation and supervisionEnvironmentCommercial banksFinancial institutionsInterest rate parityFinancial servicesBanks and bankingDebts, PublicFinance, PublicFinancial services industryLaw and legislationInterest rates338.9729DcWaIMFBOOK9910154899103321Eastern Caribbean currency union1016880UNINA
