WILLEMSTAD – Curaçao’s external financial position improved significantly in 2025, driven largely by strong tourism revenues, according to the Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten.
The current account deficit narrowed sharply from 16.4% of GDP in 2024 to 9.2% in 2025 and is expected to decline further to 7.2% in 2026.
The improvement reflects increased foreign exchange earnings from tourism and related services, which outpaced the rise in imports.
At the same time, foreign reserves increased substantially and are projected to continue growing, strengthening the country’s financial stability and ability to withstand external shocks.
