The Central Bank of The Bahamas has published its Monthly Economic and Financial Developments (MEFD) report for April 2026, providing an overview of domestic and international economic trends.

Key Takeaways:

📈 The domestic economy maintained its growth momentum relative to the same period in 2025, with key economic indicators reverting to their medium-term potential.

🚢 Tourism output expanded, supported by healthy gains in cruise sector earnings and marginal improvements in high-value added stopover segments, despite ongoing capacity constraints.

🏦 Banking sector liquidity increased in April 2026, as the expansion in the deposit base surpassed the uptick in domestic credit.

📊 External reserves also grew, largely supported by net foreign currency inflows through the private sector.

🌎 Globally, major economies maintained a tempered growth pace during the review period, amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
