Caribbean Export 2021 Annual Report FINAL

SERVICES – THE NEW FRONTIER

Within the Caribbean region, the services sector contributes approximately 69 per cent, on average, to GDP in CARIFORUM members states, creating diverse employment opportunities, and generating foreign exchange. Further, services providers play a central role in the creation of goods for export and in view of this Caribbean Export has invested a significant proportion of its work programme to interventions that support the development and growth of this sector. Through 2021, the Agency continued with the implementation of virtual capacity building programmes for service providers from industries such as business and professional services, tourism, health & wellness, recreation, culture and sport, animation, energy and ICT with the hosting of its Services Go Global, Business of Music programmes and promotion of the Services Registry which now lists 150 service providers across the Caribbean.
