Economic growth returned to Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) in 2018. Increased activity in the tourism and construction sectors contributed to the recovery. Fiscal performance remained strong as debt continued to decline. Increased economic activity is anticipated in 2019, as tourism related investments and reconstruction activity gain traction.

The Government of Turks and Caicos Islands (GOTCI) is focused on economic recovery and inclusive growth following damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in2017. Key investments in education, primary healthcare, border protection and security, and social development are in line with TCI’s sustainable development objectives. The economic recovery programme will be financed primarily from cash reserves.
