First year: managing the Assomption Island Qatari hotel lease controversy and the heroin crisis; tourism recovery maintained.
Africa's richest per capita; tourism-dependent; GDP +2.9% (2024); climate vulnerability the existential risk.
High human development; but heroin addiction among the world's highest rates devastates youth.
High-income; inequality and drug crisis the shadows on the prosperity story.
