WILLEMSTAD – While Curaçao’s short-term economic outlook remains positive, the Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) is warning of significant long-term risks that could threaten stability .
Among the key concerns are global geopolitical tensions, climate-related shocks, and structural vulnerabilities such as dependence on imports and tourism.
Domestically, challenges include delays in public investment execution and rising costs related to healthcare and social insurance.
The central bank is urging policymakers to strengthen fiscal buffers, invest in renewable energy, and implement structural reforms to reduce vulnerability to external shocks.
