It is one of the nations with the highest income levels in developing countries with a GDP per capita of $ 4,210 in 2007, according to the terms of the PPP, which is relatively high in Latin America. This amount doubled in just 6 years since it currently ranges between 9,000 and 9,700 dollars per capita, which place it in 87th place among 180 nations for which data are available. In 2015, it experienced a 7.0% growth in its GDP driven mainly by tourism and remittances, performance that has been shown under a scenario of low inflation.Its economy is based mainly on tourism and its natural resources.
