Grenada’s fiscal landscape for 2025 presents a mixed picture, with both challenges and achievements highlighted in the latest report from the Ministry of Finance. The total Central Government debt at the end of 2024 was estimated at EC$2.2 billion, setting a significant backdrop for the year’s financial management. In July 2025, the government recorded an overall deficit of $27.9 million, which exceeded both the target for 2025 and the actual figures from 2024. However, the cumulative deficit from January to July 2025 stood at $55.1 million, a notable improvement compared to the targeted $99.2 million, though it still fell short of the previous year’s performance due to exceptional revenue inflows from the CCRIF payout and backlogged CBI applications. The primary deficit for July 2025 was $25.2 million, worse than projected, but the seven-month period saw a primary deficit of $33.7 million, outperforming the target by $39.1 million. Debt servicing remained steady, with principal payments totaling $8.5 million and interest payments at $2.7 million for July 2025. Over the January to July period, principal payments amounted to EC$67.3 million, with interest payments reaching EC$17.6 million. The report, available for public review on the Ministry’s website, underscores the complexities of Grenada’s fiscal strategy amid fluctuating revenue streams and debt obligations.

The Grenada Chamber of Industry and Commerce (GCIC) has issued an urgent appeal to the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA) and workers’ representatives to engage in time-bound, mediated negotiations to resolve the ongoing industrial dispute. Emphasizing the critical role of the port in the nation’s economy, GCIC warned that prolonged disruptions could have severe repercussions for households, businesses, and essential services. The Chamber’s President highlighted the particularly sensitive timing, with the pre-Christmas import season in full swing, perishable goods and pharmaceuticals in transit, and tourism operators managing high-season logistics. The impasse threatens to escalate price pressures, cause supply shortages, delay projects, and lead to widespread income losses. To mitigate these risks, GCIC proposed a temporary halt to disruptive actions, the appointment of a mutually acceptable mediator, and the publication of a joint progress update within 72 hours. The Chamber also offered to facilitate dialogue, provide neutral data on supply-chain impacts, and host multistakeholder sessions to foster clarity and consensus. ‘A fair, respectful, and clear resolution is in everyone’s interest,’ the President concluded, stressing the importance of safeguarding national welfare.
