Awareness Workshop on 8 March 2017 in Saint Lucia; •  • The CARTAC/IMF national accounts training in Saint Lucia during the period 2 to 13 October 2017; and •  • The CARTAC Quarterly National Accounts Mission to Grenada in November 2017. During the period under review, the Bank prepared draft External Sectors Statistics for 2016 to 2019 for Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines. The compilation of estimates for the Commonwealth of Dominica were hampered by the passage of hurricane Maria in September 2017, while the estimates for Montserrat were delayed due to institutional reasons. To assist with macro-economic analysis, the Bank continued the administration and conduct of the bi- annual Business Outlook Survey and the management of real sector and national accounts statistics.
