dc.description.tableofcontents2. Bertram Niles reports on statements by Caribbean Development Bank President Sir Neville Nicholls on the improved economic management of its borrowing member countries. In 1998 Turks and Caicos recorded the highest growth (13%), followed by Anguilla (7%), Saint Kitts and Nevis (7%) and Barbados (5%). Guyana experienced a decline as a result of drought, civil unrest and deteriorating terms of trade. The region remained insulated against ongoing turbulence in the global financial market. Sir Nicholls attributes this strong performance on improved economic and fiscal measures implemented throughout the region but warns of challenges if market problems continue in South East Asia and if economic problems in Brazil spread to Latin American. Moderate growth in Caribbean economies is expected in 1999 (00:36 - 02:22)en_US
