CariCRIS - Caribbean Information and Credit Rating Services Limited

2016 was another difficult year for the world economy, marked by sluggish global trade, weak investment and heightened policy uncertainty. Caribbean economies also experienced a challenging year, with the major commodity exporters all experiencing weaker performance than in 2015, though the service-based economies fared somewhat better with a pick-up in tourism. Notwithstanding these overall strained conditions, I am pleased to report that Caribbean Information and Credit Rating Services Limited (CariCRIS) performed well.
