Caribbean Key Themes For 2019

• According to Fitch, the Caribbean faces a number of significant economic and political challenges in 2019, most notably the potential for a slowdown in tourist arrivals amid weaker growth in developed markets.
• While they expect most economies in the region will hold up relatively well in 2019, headwinds in traditionally dominant industries such as tourism and financial services and the growing strain of the Venezuela crisis on the region will likely become significant stories as the year progresses.
