This growth can be attributed to the nation's increasing reliance on tourism and financial services, with the latter sector contributing significantly to the island nation's foreign exchange earnings.

The recent decline in foreign reserves, a trend observed in other countries, may be a concern for policymakers, who would need to implement strategies to maintain stability and attract foreign investment to mitigate this trend.
