This research is a comprehensive study that measures the impact of different trade agreements on the Caribbean’s economy. The study first introduces the trade agreements, their history and how they have evolved since their entry in force. Their impact is measured using various economic indicators such as: exports, imports, GDP etc…. This research project oversees the evolution of the Caribbean ‘s exports and imports. Using these outputs, the balance of trade is calculated. GDP and FDI inflows are also taken into account.

Further in the paper, explanations regarding the impacts are discussed. The discussions purposes are: to determine the reasons behind the failure of these agreements and find ways to improve them. The reasons are: the incapacity of the Caribbean to compete with the regions nearby and the rest of the world in various industries, the lack of infrastructures and a very weak legal structure. The ultimate aim is to propose strategies for the region to boost growth and development that will enable it to become competitive.
