Cook Islands GDP Projections (IMF)
iCook Islands Economy Overview
The Cook Islands have a tourism-centered economy closely linked with New Zealand. Accommodation, restaurants, transportation, excursions, retail, and recreational services generate much of domestic income, particularly on the most visited islands. Financial services, government administration, construction, fisheries, and small-scale agriculture broaden the economic base. Black pearls and marine products have also contributed to exports. The use of the New Zealand dollar and close migration and commercial links with New Zealand influence labor supply, trade, and household economic conditions.
Cook Islands GDP Outlook
The Cook Islandsโ prospects are supported by tourism, financial services, and close economic ties with New Zealand. Continued growth in hospitality, aviation, digital services, and niche exports could strengthen the economy. Better connectivity may also help smaller islands benefit more from tourism. Cyclones, labor shortages, emigration, high import costs, and dependence on international visitors remain important risks.
