摘要:The economy of Montserrat is estimated to have
contracted in the first quarter of 2006 relative to the
corresponding period in 2005, largely attributed to a
downturn in construction activity. The consumer
price index declined by 0.5 per cent. The
merchandise trade deficit widened as a result of an
increase in import payments. The overall fiscal
deficit narrowed, reflecting reduced capital
expenditure coupled with an increase in grant
receipts. Consistent with the decline in economic
activity monetary liabilities decreased and private
sector credit fell.
