The economy contracted by an estimated 5.4% in fiscal year 2020 (FY2020, ending 30 September) as mobility restrictions were enforced to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The government earmarked $58.7 million as fiscal stimulus. However, the pandemic also eroded tax revenues as fishing license revenues declined. Inflation increased to 1.6% in FY2020 from pandemic-related supply-side disruptions. GDP is forecast to contract by 1.8% in FY2021 before rebounding to 2.0% growth in FY2022. Inflation is expected to rise to 1.9% in FY2021 and 2.0% in FY2022.
