Grenada - Balance of payments



The adverse trade balance is generally offset by a flow of remittances from migrant groups abroad and by tourist expenditures.

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reports that in 2000 the purchasing power parity of Grenada's exports was $78 million while imports totaled $270 million resulting in a trade deficit of $192 million.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports that in 2000 Grenada had exports of goods totaling $85 million and imports totaling $221 million. The services credit totaled $151 million and debit $83 million. The following table summarizes Grenada's balance of payments as reported by the IMF for 2000 in millions of US dollars.
