The mission focused on enhancing external sector statistics (ESS) for St. Lucia, identifying several key challenges including incomplete data collection for trade flows, inaccuracies in visitor expenditure surveys, gaps in the Citizenship by Investment (CIP) program data, and inconsistencies in administrative records.

Recommendations prioritize clarifying customs regimes for trade data, improving tourist survey methodologies, resolving data collection delays, and enhancing metadata dissemination.

Key Priority Recommendations include ensuring all applicable customs regimes are integrated into the trade database by March 2025, promoting better coordination among stakeholders like the Central Statistics Office (CSO), Customs and Excise Department (CED), and the St. Lucia Tourist Board (SLTB).
