Abstract: French Guiana represents the largest territory of any region in France. Still, in 2019 its population came to just 296,847. In recent years the economy, while showing positive signs, has faced several significant challenges. The factors associated with growth and development in French Guiana are examined in detail in this chapter with particular emphasis given to the short-term period from 2000–10 and the long-term growth path from 2000–17. Given the dearth of relevant data in the English literature, much of the discussion is confined to documenting the economy's movements over these periods.
