|
| Economy overview :
| In this small, essentially private enterprise economy the tourism industry is the number one foreign exchange earner followed by cane sugar, citrus, marine products, bananas, and garments. The government's expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, initiated in September 1998, led to GDP growth of 6.5% in 1999, 10.8% in 2000, 4.6% in 2001, and 3.7% in 2002. Major concerns continue to be the sizable trade deficit and foreign debt. A key short-term objective remains the reduction of poverty with the help of international donors. .

| Hymne :
| O. Land of the Free by the Carib Sea,
Our manhood we pledge to thy liberty !
No tyrants here linger, despots must flee
This tranquil haven of democracy
The blood of our sires which hallows the sod,
Brought freedom from slavery oppression's rod,
By the might of truth and the grace of God,
No longer shall we be hewers of wood.
Arise ! ye sons of the Baymen's clan,
Put on your armour, clear the land !
Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -
Land of the Free by the Carib Sea !
Nature has blessed thee with wealth untold,
O'er mountains and valleys where prairies roll ;
Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
Drove back the invader; this heritage hold
From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon,
Through coral isle, over blue lagoon ;
Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon ;
For freedom comes tomorrow's noon..
