Political stability took a hit in late October when the Senate voted to remove the prime minister, Michele Pierre-Louis, although the newly appointed prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, has been quick to form a government. A better security situation and renewed international attention have improved Haiti's economic outlook, but risks remain, particularly if political volatility returns. f0328fe4cfbb1338888675226de34a8cWed, 11 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/country_report_panama_november_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 Fiscal and financial constraints owing to weak revenue performance will prevent the administration from following through on election promises of massive infrastructure spending. Panama's failure to fulfil commitments on the exchange of tax information will continue to thwart the main foreign policy priority—US ratification of the preferential trade agreement (PTA) signed in 2007. The authorities are unlikely to keep the fiscal deficit below the 2% of GDP ceiling (as mandated by the fiscal responsibility law) in 2010, with revenue expected to underperform and the government reluctant to cut spending. 6d31e8a9b06fb385f25d948a18f381dbFri, 06 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/jamaica/country_report_jamaica_november_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The prime minister, Bruce Golding of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), will face an increasingly precarious economic and social balance during the outlook period as his government formally returns to the IMF. The IMF agreement will require the government to focus on fiscal austerity measures in an attempt to contain growth of the country's massive debt burden, which will rise to over 135% of GDP during the outlook period. After the steepest recession in the Caribbean in 2009, Jamaican GDP growth will be lacklustre in 2010-11, as a combination of continuing dependence on the US and internal structural weaknesses prevent a firmer rebound. 511135adfe21d068fb4fea71d5080ea0Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/trinidad_tobago/country_report_trinidad_tobago_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The already low popularity of the prime minister, Patrick Manning, will be eroded further by the economic downturn and the public's perception of corruption within his government. Although adverse economic conditions will create policy challenges for Mr Manning's administration, his party's parliamentary majority will avert the threat of legislative gridlock. Owing to the impact of the global recession, real GDP will contract by 2. 5baae7d6b7d3039331ba25ec7e8eca30Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/cayman_islands/country_report_cayman_islands_september_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs.

Following March elections in Antigua-Barbuda, no other OECS country is scheduled to hold general elections in 2009. However, elections in St Kitts-Nevis, Dominica and Anguilla are due by mid-2010 and may be called earlier. 1f230780413ac56049f3ec56fae31746Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/country_report_haiti_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs.

Full executive and ministerial power would pass to the governor, Gordon Wetherell, with the suspension to last for two years until scheduled fresh elections are held in 2011. The new premier, Galmore Williams, has welcomed technical assistance from the UK to help with needed reforms, but continues to ask to remain in power to see through the changes. b071534a0c231e078d523656d8d62db5Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/trinidad_tobago/country_report_trinidad_tobago_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The already low popularity of the prime minister, Patrick Manning, will be eroded further by the economic downturn and rising violent crime. Policymaking will become more challenging in 2009-10 as the deterioration of the fiscal and current-account balances leaves Trinidad and Tobago exposed to global financial and economic woes. GDP growth will slow sharply in 2009, to 0. 418fee154782011d2d451263023420ccThu, 02 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/country_report_togo_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling party and the opposition will begin to gear up for the presidential election in 2010. It is unclear whether Gilchrist Olympio, the leader of the main opposition party, will be allowed to stand, but if the opposition can unite behind a single candidate the president, Faure Gnassingbe of the ruling Rassemblement du peuple togolais (RPT), will face a stiff challenge. Economic policy will be driven by the demands of the poverty reduction and growth facility (PRGF) with the IMF, on which Togo depends for access to foreign aid and debt relief. 00fa1dc15e6eff9b7f65d460cfa02800Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/country_report_bahamas_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The Free National Movement (FNM) government, led by the prime minister, Hubert Ingraham, has a small but workable majority in parliament and is not expected to have difficulty enacting its legislative agenda during its term in office, which is scheduled to run until 2012. The Ingraham administration's success in the outlook period will depend upon its ability to balance the demands of combating the economic downturn with the need to maintain good relations with public-sector workers and local businesses, as well as managing the rising rate of unemployment. Controlling drug-trafficking and illegal immigration from Haiti will remain key to international relations with the US, the Bahamas' main trade partner. 57e6db476414bcdaf1f2e41e76815160Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbeanhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/caribbean/country_report_aruba_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 An election is due in September 2009. With the economy falling into recession, the government of the prime minister, Nelson Oduber of the Movimento Electoral di Pueblo (MEP), will struggle to retain power for a third four-year term. The opposition Arubaanse Volks Partij (AVP) will seek to take electoral advantage of the worsening economic climate. 7927ff4278c7685cf023e23841c0b897Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBCountries/Caribbean
