In addition, The Bahamian economy will struggle to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which began on the heels of Hurricane Dorian (2019). The island’s COVID-19 vaccination drive was slow to start and has progressed only modestly; this will halt a full reopening of tourism—on which the economy is excessively dependent—in 2021-22 forecast period, also the economy will strive to return to pre-pandemic levels of real GDP amid this time.
