In 2002 the OECS economies registered negative growth (-0.3%) as key productive sectors stagnated. The tourism sector languished, reflecting significant structural weaknesses. The manufacturing sector remained uncompetitive by international standards and construction suffered from a reduction in the rate of implementation of investment projects. Agriculture proved to be the exception to this trend, but its development potential remains constrained by internal difficulties and by the effects that the gradual withdrawal of preferential market access will have on the industry.
