from
Wikipedia
The economy of St. Kitts and Nevis experienced strong growth for most of the 1990s but hurricanes in 1998 and 1999 contributed to a sharp slowdown.
The economy experienced a mixed performance during 2002, with some sectors experiencing positive growth while others experienced varying levels of decline.
The construction sector recorded a 4. 51 % decline, manufacturing and hotels and restaurants also recorded significant declines of 4. 01 and 9. 89 % respectively, and sugar production fell by 5. 1 %.
Significant new investment in tourism, including a 648-room Marriott hotel and convention center that opened in December 2002, as well as continued government efforts to diversify the economy, are expected to improve economic performance.
