The Economic Impact of COVID-19 on the Marshall Islands with Policy Options for Sustained Recovery

This EconMAP Technical Note utilizes current statistical data and macroeconomic modeling to project the impact of COVID-19 and to outline a range of fiscal measures for RMI government consideration. While the primary purpose of this document is to assist the government of the RMI in developing its own fiscal response policies, dialogue with RMI's donor partners is also strongly recommended.

This Economic Monitoring and Analysis Program (EconMAP) Technical Note on Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 on the Marshall Islands Economy provided concise and timely analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the RMI economy.
