Business Cycle Survey 2023
Business cycle index provide an overview of the state of the economy, constructed from various indicators. For the business index of Curaçao, this is based on data related to confidence in the future, the perception of the investment climate, and changes in turnover. These indicators are aggregated into a composite index, with a starting point of one hundred.
Since the end of 2010, the business index has shown a gradual upward trend after an initial sharp decline to 51 points in 2013. Following this, the index fluctuated before eventually declining to 53 points by December 2019, after several cycles of rises and falls. During the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, the index dropped sharply from 53 to 30 points by June 2020, compared to December 2019. Fortunately, the second half of 2020 saw no further decline, due to relaxed COVID measures and a subsequent increase in business activity
