Overview
Grenada's fdi inflows stood at 13.69% in 2025, a rise of +1.74% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 13.69% by 2025. Grenada ranked 11th globally.
Grenada’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have risen markedly since the series began in 1977, when the country recorded a trough of –0.14, the lowest value in the 49‑year span. The upward trajectory accelerated in the early 2000s, culminating in an all‑time peak of 21.78 in 2007, a level that placed Grenada among the more attractive small‑state destinations for investors. By 2025 the inflows stood at 13.69, ranking eleventh globally and surpassing peers such as Liberia (13.36) and approaching the figures of Oman (14.46) and Antigua and Barbuda (14.97). The sustained post‑peak decline reflects both the global slowdown in investment flows after the financial crisis and Grenada’s limited domestic market size, yet the country’s continued policy emphasis on tourism, renewable energy and offshore financial services has kept inflows relatively high. Maintaining a stable macro‑environment and deepening sectoral incentives could preserve the current upward bias and potentially lift Grenada back toward its 2007 peak.
