Evidence explainer: what does the IMF’s January 2026 assessment say about growth and economic risks?
What the evidence says
In its January 2026 assessment, the IMF estimated Grenada’s real GDP growth at 4.4% for 2025, supported by investment and construction. It described the economy as resilient following Hurricane Beryl.
That assessment also identified risks, including natural disasters, dependence on tourism and imports, and possible disruptions to citizenship-by-investment and foreign-investment inflows. Positive growth does not mean those risks have disappeared.
An economy-wide growth estimate does not prove that every household’s income increased or that living costs are affordable. It also does not, by itself, prove that a single party caused the outcome.
The 4.4% figure is the IMF’s January 2026 estimate for 2025, not a live 2026 growth result. This is an evidence explainer rather than a verdict on an identified NNP quotation. Sources checked: 12 October 2026.
