S & P Gives Curaçao a Rating of Stability

Minister José Jardim of Finance of Curaçao made public that the international rating agency Standard & Poor’s has given the island a repeated positive rating. The public finances in the last two years have come together again. Before, there was no perspective because the economy faltered, however now the S & P stated that the island has gained a lot of ground in terms of stability and that in itself calls for new perspectives. This rating gives the government more room to work on creating new jobs. The minister expects that this year tourism, construction and the international financial services sector are decisive for the further growth of the Curaçao economy.
