To guide economic insights
Willemstad/Philipsburg:---The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) is undertaking a new round of data collection from companies in Curaçao’s manufacturing sector to assess domestic developments. Building on the successful first survey conducted in 2024, this second edition aims to provide a follow-up on current manufacturing activities, including production, employment, exports, investments, and key business challenges. This survey serves as part of CBCS’ ongoing efforts to strengthen data collection and gain deeper insights into the performance and challenges of the manufacturing industry in Curaçao. In this regard, the opinion of businesses about their current performance, the economic situation in general, and their expectations for the near future can provide valuable insights for economic analysis and forecasting.
On November 3, 2025, the CBCS will send a link to an online survey, available in Papiamentu, Dutch, and English, to businesses in the manufacturing sector. The estimated time to complete the survey is 10 minutes. Responses will remain anonymous, and all data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
For robust economic analysis, reliable data and information from key sectors are essential. In August of this year, the CBCS expanded its industry-specific survey program by including the construction sector. The information collected through these surveys serves as valuable input for the CBCS Economic Bulletin, which is published four times a year and provides a comprehensive analysis of the performance and outlook of the economies of both Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The CBCS conducts such analyses to support monetary, fiscal, and broader economic policymaking and to assess the effectiveness of these policies. In addition, the insights derived from this work can assist businesses in financial planning and investment decision-making.
The CBCS kindly requests the cooperation of companies in the manufacturing sector in Curaçao in completing the survey before November 17, 2025. Businesses operating in the manufacturing sector that have not received the survey but would like to participate, may request the link to the online survey via This email address is being protected from spambots.
