Summary

The economy grew strongly over 2021-24, driven by post-pandemic tourism, with an improved fiscal position and a declining debt-to-GDP ratio. Among its policy priorities, the government aims to boost purchasing power, lower living costs, and increase compensation allowances for pensioners. In June 2024, Aruba and the Netherlands agreed to the creation of a new consensus Kingdom Act aimed at achieving and maintaining sustainable public finances in Aruba. If the Kingdom Act is enacted, the interest rate on Dutch pandemic loans will be reduced.
