Abstract: Economic growth for Seychelles in 2024 is estimated at 2.9 percent. Year-on-year inflation reached 1.7 percent as of December, driven by an increase in utility prices and pass-through effects of currency depreciation. Fiscal performance in 2024 was tighter than budgeted, driven mainly by underspending on capital expenditure. The current account deficit widened to 7.9 percent of GDP in 2024, but gross international reserves increased to $774 million (equivalent to 3.8 months of imports and 115 percent of the ARA metric). General elections are scheduled for late-September of this year.
