What the data shows

Computed with the same code as the observations under the main chart and in the API (get_insights). Moving together in time does not prove a cause.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1967–1977: 5.74 → 3.02. Over the same years: births 2.36k → 1.52k; population 65.6k → 72.4k; urban share 38.3% → 43.3%; net migration −0.61k a year → −0.63k a year; life expectancy, men 62.8 years → 67.4 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.78 → 1.48; births 0.93k → 0.74k; population 69.7k → 66.5k; internet 51% → 81.3%; urban share 69.1% → 73.1%; GDP per person (PPP) 17,283 PPP dollars → 18,278 PPP dollars; GDP growth −1% → 4.7%; inflation 0% → 4.2%; net migration 1.38k a year → −0.2k a year; life expectancy, men 68.8 years → 68.2 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 28 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.95); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.29). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.90); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.23). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.89); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.06). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (18,280 PPP dollars) typically have 2.01; here it is 1.48, lower than in 88% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (18,740 PPP dollars) typically have 75.5%; here it is 82.1%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: fertility below 3: 1978; urban majority: 1983; fertility below 2.1: 2003; half the population online: 2013. Fertility fell below 3 after the urban share passed 50% in 69% of 111 countries where the order is known; median gap 9 years. Fertility fell below 2.1 before half the population went online in 88% of 112 countries where the order is known.

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −6.3%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.50 (+1% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.56 (+5% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.06.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −23%.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (0.74k, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 0.59k (−21% vs 2023), 2100 — 0.41k (−45% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.14k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −8.9%.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 63.2k (−5% vs 2023), 2100 — 49.1k (−26% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 31.8k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2022 projection for 2023: 73k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 66.5k (−8.9%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −5.2k, births −0.4k, deaths −0.5k (more deaths than expected), migration −0.4k; the largest: the starting population.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 2.7 pp below the forecast; below it in 76% of cases; typical error ±4.2 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, April 2019 expected 7%, the outcome was −16.6%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 4.5%, 2027 — 2.8%, 2031 — 2%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0 pp below the forecast; below it in 69% of cases; typical error ±1.4 pp. The biggest miss was for 2022: IMF, April 2021 expected 2%, the outcome was 7.7%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 3%, 2028 — 2.2%, 2031 — 2.2%.
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −0.13k a year, 2050 — 0.15k a year, 2100 — −0.04k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 69.2 years, 2050 — 72.3 years, 2100 — 80.5 years.

UN projections vs actual

Solid line: actual data, UN WPP 2024 estimates; births and fertility from national statistics from the last year they matched the UN estimate (the UN's figures for the latest years are partly its own projection). Dashed: medium variants of past UN revisions. The table shows what each revision expected for the latest year (or five-year period) with actual data.

International tourism receipts are expenditures by international inbound visitors, including payments to national carriers for international transport. These receipts include any other prepayment made for goods or services received in the destination country. They also may include receipts from same-day visitors, except when these are important enough to justify separate classification. For some countries they do not include receipts for passenger transport items. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.

Dominica: Private-sector credit / GDP1977: 20.88; 2025: 38.09020406019801990200020102020

Financial resources supplied to the private sector by financial corporations relative to GDP. Includes loans and other debt claims; country coverage differs. Neither government debt nor mortgages alone. Source definition: Domestic credit to private sector refers to financial resources provided to the private sector by financial corporations, such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable, that establish a claim for repayment. For some countries these claims include credit to public enterprises. The financial corporations include monetary authorities and deposit money banks, as well as other financial corporations where data are available (including corporations that do not accept transferable deposits but do incur such liabilities as time and savings deposits). Examples of other financial corporations are finance and leasing companies, money lenders, insurance corporations, pension funds, and foreign exchange companies. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Dominica: Bank nonperforming loans2015: 15.12; 2025: 8.9205101520201520202025

Loans 90+ days overdue or unlikely to be repaid in full divided by gross loans, before provisions and collateral deductions. National rules and coverage can differ. Source definition: The indicator measures the proportion of a deposit taker’s loan portfolio that is impaired or at risk of default. It is calculated as the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total gross loans, where NPLs are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more or are otherwise considered unlikely to be repaid in full without the realization of collateral. Both non-performing loans and total gross loans should be reported at their gross book value, without deducting for loan-loss provisions or collateral. This indicator provides a key measure of asset quality and potential credit risk in the banking system.
