Yearbook 2008
Dominica. According to
Countryaah reports, Dominica was granted a loan in February of the
equivalent of just over US $ 3 million by the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) to alleviate the effects of the damage
that occurred when a hurricane pulled over the island in
August 2007. The total cost of the damage was estimated at
about one fifth of the country's GDP., which in 2007 was $
268 million. The worst was the damage in the agricultural
sector, which accounts for most of Dominica's exports.
