Geography and economic specialization make them vulnerable to external shocks, contributing to low and volatile GDP growth since 2000. High debt, limited job opportunities, and climate change present important development challenges for OECS countries. Strengthening their resilience to shocks is a prerequisite for poverty reduction, inclusive growth, and sustainability. The natural capital of the oceans provides opportunities for OECS countries to embed growth in the “blue economy.” Realizing these opportunities will require harnessing human capital, embracing new technologies, and continued regional cooperation. 2018-07-19T21:09:05Z 2018-07-19T21:09:05Z 2018-06-27 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/300861530819875538/Organization-of-Eastern-Caribbean-States-Systematic-Regional-Diagnostic http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30054 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Systematic Country Diagnostic Latin America & Caribbean Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Grenada St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia St. Vincent and the Grenadines
