Dominica’s real GDP growth has averaged 4.23 % in 2025, placing it 52nd in the world and slightly above peers such as Ghana (4.03 %) and Nepal (4.32 %). The island economy’s 48‑year record shows considerable volatility, with an all‑time peak of 13.38 % in 1980 following a dramatic contraction of –18.36 % in 1979, the deepest trough in the series. Since the early 1980s, growth has settled into a more moderate band, hovering around the mid‑single digits and rarely exceeding the 10 % mark recorded in 1978. The recent 4.23 % expansion reflects continued resilience in tourism, agriculture and offshore services, yet the legacy of the 1979 shock underscores the susceptibility of small, open economies to external shocks. Maintaining this upward trajectory will depend on diversifying export markets, strengthening fiscal buffers and sustaining investment in climate‑resilient infrastructure.
