St. Vincent

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a small, upper-middle-income eastern Caribbean nation of multiple islands, with an economy based on tourism, agriculture, and yachting among its picturesque Grenadine isles.

Bananas were long the economic mainstay, but tourism and services now lead, and the country is exposed to hurricanes and, in 2021, a major volcanic eruption.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on tourism and yachting, agriculture (bananas and root crops), and some offshore financial services and construction.
