Dominica is a small, lower-middle-income eastern Caribbean island — the 'Nature Isle' — whose economy depends on agriculture, ecotourism, and citizenship-by-investment revenue, and which is acutely vulnerable to hurricanes.

Devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017, Dominica has pledged to become the world's first climate-resilient nation, while relying on bananas, tourism, and passport sales.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on agriculture (bananas have historically been the mainstay), ecotourism built on rainforests and hot springs, and a citizenship-by-investment program.
