CARICOM Statistics

The Statistics Sub-programme compiles statistics on the member countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).  These data are submitted to the Secretariat by the member states themselves, either by the National Statistics Office or the Central Bank, depending on the nature of the data.
