Sint Maarten’s economy is seeing strong output growth, but improvement on other socio-economic dimensions remains subdued . The country is still rebuilding from devastating hurricanes in 2017, interrupted by a deep reversal during the pandemic.
Sint Maarten grew an estimated 10 percent last year, despite supply chain and commodity price difficulties delaying major investment projects. Output per capita is expected to surpass pre-pandemic levels this year and pre-hurricane levels next year. Growth has been led by buoyant tourism arrivals and robust private and public investment. Yet formal employment growth has been mediocre and indications from social assistance and elsewhere suggest that growth has not lifted household economic conditions as much as expected.
