Driven primarily by tourism. Continued growth across the monetary union in 2025

The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) reported continued economic growth across its monetary union in 2025, as detailed in its June 2026 Economic Bulletin. Both Curaçao and Sint Maarten recorded stronger real GDP growth compared to the previous year. Curaçao's economy expanded by 5.1%, while Sint Maarten's grew by 3.5%. Tourism was identified as the main driver for this growth in both countries, fueled by higher stayover and cruise arrivals. Additionally, inflationary pressures across the monetary union eased, primarily due to a decrease in domestic energy prices following declines in international crude oil prices.
