Gross Domestic Product for the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, 2021 & 2022
Gross Domestic Product by Industry and Compensation by Industry,
2020 & 2021
Real gross domestic product for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands increased 16.7
percent in 2022 and 5.1 percent in 2021 after decreasing 29.1 percent in 2020, according to statistics
released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (table 1.3). These statistics were developed
under the Statistical Improvement Program funded by the Office of Insular Affairs of the U.S.
Department of the Interior.

Gross domestic product for 2022
The growth in real gross domestic product (GDP) from 2021 to 2022 reflected increases in exports,
government spending, and private fixed investment (chart 1). These increases were partly offset by a
decrease in personal consumption expenditures (PCE). Imports, a subtraction item in the calculation of
GDP, increased.
Exports increased 324.9 percent (table 1.3). The increase in exports was accounted for by exports of
services, which consists primarily of visitor spending (table 1.4). Visitor arrivals increased 656.4 percent
in 2022 according to statistics published by the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
government.
Government spending increased 4.7 percent, reflecting increases in both territorial and federal
government spending.
•

Territorial government spending increased 3.3 percent, supported by federal grants, including
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds payments and Education Stabilization Fund
payments authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020;
the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act of 2021; and the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

•

Federal government spending increased 22.8 percent. The increase reflected construction
spending associated with the U.S. Air Force’s Tinian Divert Airfield project.

Private fixed investment increased 3.8 percent, primarily reflecting an increase in business spending on
equipment.
Personal consumption expenditures decreased 3.3 percent, reflecting an increase in consumer prices
(table 1.5) that outpaced the increase in current-dollar PCE (table 1.1).

GDP for 2021
The growth in real GDP from 2020 to 2021 reflected increases in government spending and personal
consumption expenditures (chart 2). These increases were partly offset by declines in exports and
private fixed investment. Imports, a subtraction item in the calculation of GDP, increased.
Government spending increased 19.2 percent, reflecting increases in both territorial and federal
government spending.
•

Territorial government spending increased 19.9 percent, supported by federal grants, including
Coronavirus Relief Fund payments and Education Stabilization Fund payments authorized by the
CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act.

•

Federal government spending increased 11.2 percent, primarily reflecting an increase in federal
reconstruction activities related to Typhoon Yutu.

Personal consumption expenditures increased 11.1 percent, supported by government assistance
payments distributed to households through the CRRSA Act and the American Rescue Plan Act.
Exports decreased 58.1 percent. The decrease in exports was accounted for by exports of services,
which consists primarily of visitor spending. Visitor arrivals decreased 85.7 percent in 2021 according to
statistics published by the CNMI government.
Page 2 of 7

Private fixed investment decreased 6.4 percent, reflecting a decline in business spending on structures
and equipment.

GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2021
In 2021, real GDP increased 5.1 percent. The government sector was the primary contributor to the
increase, according to the newly available GDP by industry data (table 2.5).
The government sector increased 13.2 percent, primarily reflecting growth in compensation of
territorial government employees (table 2.4).
The private sector increased 0.6 percent, reflecting an increase in “other private industries,” such as
professional services and construction. The increase was partly offset by a decline in accommodations,
food services, and amusement. As noted above, the number of visitor arrivals to the CNMI decreased
85.7 percent in 2021.
Total compensation increased from $578 million in 2020 to $604 million in 2021 (table 2.6). The $26
million increase was mostly accounted for by an increase in territorial government compensation.

GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2020
In 2020, real GDP decreased 29.1 percent. The private sector was the primary contributor to the decline,
according to the newly available GDP by industry data.
The private sector decreased 40.6 percent, reflecting widespread declines as businesses throughout the
CNMI operated at a reduced capacity due to the COVID–19 pandemic. Visitor arrivals declined 81.7
Page 3 of 7

percent in 2020 according to statistics published by the CNMI government. Additionally, casino gambling
revenue dropped over 95 percent in 2020 according to publicly available financial statements.
The government sector increased 9.7 percent, primarily reflecting a reduction in the operating losses of
government utilities, whose expenditures returned to normal levels following several years of elevated
spending in the aftermath of Typhoon Yutu.
Total compensation decreased from $701 million in 2019 to $578 million in 2020. The $123 million
decrease reflected widespread declines in private-sector compensation including accommodations, food
services, and amusement, other private industries, and wholesale and retail trade.

Updates to GDP and its components
Estimates for 2018–2020 that were released on January 31, 2023, have been revised to incorporate
updates to source data, including the following:
•
•
•
•

financial statements for fiscal year 2021 for the CNMI government and its independent agencies,
tabulations of imports of goods by type provided by CNMI Customs,
tabulations of business revenues data provided by the CNMI Department of Finance, and
federal government contract obligations data from the U.S. General Services Administration
Federal Procurement Data System.

The revised estimates exhibit a pattern of inflation-adjusted GDP growth similar to the previously
published estimates (table 1.7).

Information on Lags in Key Source Data
Due to lags in the availability of data for various components of GDP, the statistics presented today
for 2022 are preliminary estimates. In particular, the estimates of territorial government spending
are based on very limited information. As of November 2024, the CNMI government-wide audited
financial statements were not available for fiscal year 2022 or 2023. In the absence of these key data
sources on government spending, BEA used alternative methods to estimate expenditures, including:
•
•

residually estimating payroll by extrapolating total wages and subtracting estimates of
private-sector wages and
assuming inflation-adjusted intermediate purchases of goods and services, equipment
investment, and depreciation expenses were unchanged from calendar year 2021.

For more information on the data sources underlying these estimates, see Summary of
Methodologies: Gross Domestic Product for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

GDP Statistics for the CNMI Paused
The annual publication of BEA’s GDP statistics for the CNMI is made possible through funding by the
Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. Department of the Interior. OIA has paused funding of this
work to conduct an exploratory assessment of territorial source data with the goal of informing how
to strategically invest in and support the CNMI's economic statistics into the future. Without funding,
BEA is pausing the production of GDP statistics for the CNMI. When funding and improved data
sources become available, BEA plans to resume production of these statistics.
Archived GDP statistics for the CNMI will continue to be available on BEA’s website.

the rest of the world. Imports measures the portion of total
CNMI expenditures that is accounted for by goods and
services provided by the rest of the world.
Government consumption expenditures and gross
investment, or “government spending,” measures the
portion of GDP that is accounted for by the government
sector. Government consumption expenditures consists of
spending by government to produce and provide services
to the public. Gross investment consists of spending by
government for fixed assets that directly benefit the public
or that assist government agencies in their production
activities.
Gross domestic income (GDI) is the sum of incomes earned
and costs incurred in the production of GDP. In national
economic accounting, GDP and GDI are conceptually equal.

Definitions
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of the goods and
services produced by the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (CNMI) economy less the value of the
goods and services used up in production. GDP is also equal
to the sum of personal consumption expenditures, private
fixed investment, change in private inventories, net exports
of goods and services, and government consumption
expenditures and gross investment.
Personal consumption expenditures measures the goods
and services purchased by “persons”—that is, by
households and by nonprofit institutions serving
households—who are resident in the CNMI.
Private fixed investment measures spending by private
businesses, nonprofit institutions, and households on
structures and equipment that are used in the production
of goods and services in the CNMI.
Net exports of goods and services is the difference
between exports of goods and services and imports of
goods and services. Exports measures the portion of total
CNMI production of goods and services that is provided to

Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value” (also referred to as “nominal estimates” or “currentprice estimates”).
Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.

Statistical conventions
Quantities (or “real” volume measures) and prices are
expressed as index numbers with a specified reference year
equal to 100 (currently 2012). Quantity and price indexes
are calculated using a Fisher chain-weighted formula that
incorporates weights from two adjacent years. “Real” dollar
series are calculated by multiplying the quantity index by
the current-dollar value in the reference year and then
dividing by 100.
Chained-dollar values are not additive, because the relative
weights for a given period differ from those of the reference
year.
