Economic activity declined by more than 8 percent of GDP from peak to trough (2008?2012) as tourism and construction collapsed. After almost four years of decline, real GDP grew by 1.5 percent in 2013. To address the fiscal crisis, the authorities have initiated fiscal adjustment as part of their 2014 budget, and have subsequently approved a large package of revenue measures needed for the targeted consolidation. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2014/196 606 $aFiscal policy$zGrenada 606 $aFinancial institutions$zGrenada 606 $aEconomic indicators$zGrenada 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aFinancial Risk Management$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aSales tax, tariffs & customs duties$2imf 606 $aDebt restructuring$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aFiscal consolidation$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aArrears$2imf 606 $aAsset and liability management$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aTax administration and procedure$2imf 607 $aGrenada$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aFinancial institutions 615 0$aEconomic indicators 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aFinancial Risk Management 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aSales tax, tariffs & customs duties 615 7$aDebt restructuring 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aFiscal consolidation 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aArrears 615 7$aAsset and liability management 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aDebts, External 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aTax administration and procedure 676 $a339.52 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807063803321 996 $aGrenada$92717739 997 $aUNINA
