Suriname
Although no national accounts data are available for 1980, indications are that the gross domestic product at factor cost and in current prices rose to some SF 1 620 million en 1980,' partly because of the effects of the Dutch aid to Suriname, and partly reflecting the performance of the bauxite and derivatives industry.
Suriname
In 2002 the fiscal balance deteriorated from -1.4% of GDP in 2001 to -10.9% in 2002 as a result of an increase in expenditure (from 34% of GDP in 2001 to 43% in 2002) and a marginal decline in tax revenues (33% and 31% of GDP in 2001 and 2002, respectively). The deficit was partly covered by financial development assistance and funds from the central bank, though central bank financing of the fiscal deficit is limited to 10% of government revenues.
Suriname
The indicators show a good level of macroeconomic stability in Suriname. GDP looks set to continue its rapid growth, driven by high commodity export prices and rising foreign direct investment in mining. President Venetiaan was re-elected in August 2005 for a second consecutive five-year term, and the new Government’s objectives are to strengthen economic strategy, reform the public sector and pave the way for poverty reduction.
Suriname
In 2003 Suriname’s GDP growth (5.6%) was almost double the rate posted the preceding year, thanks to the recovery of the mining sector, in which the most buoyant activities were alumina, gold and oil production. Sharp cutbacks in public spending, the implementation of a series of tax measures and better economic performance enabled the central government to balance its fiscal accounts (-7% of GDP in 2002 and 0.2% in 2003).
Suriname
In 2005, in the absence of any brusque policy changes, Suriname's GDP is expected to grow for a third consecutive year, this time at around 5% (compared to 6.4% in 2003 and an estimated 4.6% in 2004), which has not occurred for at least a quarter of a century. Favourable export commodity prices, as well as higher inflows of foreign investment, are the factors underlying the economic boom. The positive economic performance and the containment of inflation did not, however, secure the governing coalition the two-thirds majority it needed in the National Assembly to directly re-elect the President in office in May 2005. The new executive power will be elected by a larger assembly, and the parties are considering their options as regards the formation of coalitions. The outcome of these negotiations could have a significant impact on economic policy.
Suriname
The economy of Suriname has been improving steadily, with sustained growth since 2000. GDP was up 5.8% in 2006 and inflation fell to 4.7%, showing that the abolition of the petrol subsidy in September 2005 did not have a lasting impact on inflation. This positive situation resulted from prudent monetary and fiscal policies together with favourable commodity prices, particularly for crude oil. The debt to output ratio fell, and part of the overdue debt was restructured. As a result, Standard & Poor upgraded the country’s sovereign debt for the first time, with ratings of B+ and B for bonds in local and foreign currencies, respectively, with a positive outlook.
