Gross Domestic Product for the U.S. Virgin Islands, 2021
Gross Domestic Product by Industry and Compensation by Industry, 2020
Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) increased 2.8 percent in 2021 after
decreasing 1.9 percent in 2020 (table 1.3), according to statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA). These statistics were developed under the Statistical Improvement Program
funded by the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
GDP for 2021
The increase in real GDP reflected increases in exports and personal consumption expenditures (chart
1). These increases were partly offset by decreases in private inventory investment, private fixed
investment, and government spending. Imports, a subtraction item in the calculation of GDP, also
decreased.

Note. The chart shows the percent change of total real GDP and the contributions (in percentage points) of each major component to that
change. For example, personal consumption expenditures accounted for 0.41 percentage points of the 2.8 percent increase in real GDP in 2021.
Imports are a subtraction item; thus, a decrease in imports results in a positive contribution to GDP.

Coronavirus (COVID–19) Impact on the 2021 USVI GDP Estimate
In 2021, the USVI economy was affected by the continued federal government response related to
the COVID–19 pandemic. Territorial government and consumer spending were supported by federal
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. Expenditures funded by these payments are reflected in the GDP
estimates. However, the full effects of the pandemic cannot be quantified in BEA statistics for the
USVI, because the impacts are generally embedded in the data sources used to estimate the
components of GDP.
Exports increased 94.9 percent (table 1.3), reflecting increases in both goods and services. The growth in
exports of goods primarily reflected increases in exports of crude oil and petroleum products. Exports of
services, which consists primarily of spending by visitors, also increased. Total visitor arrivals were
higher in 2021 than in 2020. Although cruise arrivals were lower, statistics published by the USVI
government show that arrivals of air visitors, who spend more on the islands than cruise visitors, were
97 percent higher in 2021.
Personal consumption expenditures increased 0.6 percent (table 1.3), reflecting increases in spending
on both goods and services. Consumer spending was supported by government assistance payments
distributed to households through the CRRSA Act and the American Rescue Plan Act.
Private inventory investment decreased (table 1.2), as crude oil and petroleum product inventories
were drawn down for export and use in petroleum refining.
Private fixed investment decreased 36.8 percent (table 1.3), reflecting declines in business spending on
construction and equipment. Investment spending had been elevated in prior years to support capital
improvement projects, including the restart of the oil refinery on St. Croix.
Government spending decreased 1.2 percent (table 1.3), primarily reflecting a decline in spending by
the federal government. Federal government spending decreased after being elevated in 2020 to
support reconstruction of federal facilities heavily damaged during the 2017 hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Territorial government spending decreased 0.3 percent (table 1.3), reflecting a decline in compensation
of employees.
GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2020
In 2020, real GDP decreased 1.9 percent. The newly available GDP by industry data, which are released
one year after the preliminary GDP statistics, reveal that the private sector was the source of decline in
real GDP in 2020 (table 2.5).
The decline in the private sector was widespread. Goods-producing industries decreased 15.3 percent
(table 2.4), reflecting a decline in construction activity. The largest source of decline within servicesproducing industries was accommodation and food services, which decreased 27.7 percent, reflecting a
decrease in visitor spending. These declines were partly offset by a 4.8 percent increase in other
Page 2 of 5

services, except government, which includes transportation and warehousing of crude oil and petroleum
products.
The government sector increased 11.0 percent (table 2.4), reflecting growth in compensation for both
territorial and federal government employees.
Total compensation decreased from $2,592 million in 2019 to $2,546 million in 2020 (table 2.6). The
$46 million decrease reflected widespread declines in the private sector.

Updates to USVI GDP and Its Components
Estimates for 2018–2020 that were released on March 4, 2022, have been revised to incorporate
updates to source data, including the following:
•

•

Newly available data sources provided by the USVI government, such as draft and audited
financial statements for the Government of the USVI and its independent agencies and
consumer price indexes for 2020, and
Revised data on shipments from the U.S. Census Bureau “International Trade in Goods and
Services” (FT900) report.

The revised estimates exhibit a pattern of inflation-adjusted GDP growth similar to the previously
published estimates (table 1.7).
Due to lags in the availability of data for various components of GDP, the statistics presented today
for 2021 are preliminary estimates. As of April 2023, most of the USVI government's fiscal year 2021
audited financial statements were unavailable. In place of these financial statements, BEA used
information from a variety of alternate data sources, including USVI government budget documents,
unaudited financial statements, building permit values, reports on federal grant expenditures and
disaster recovery progress, testimonies from the Legislature of the USVI’s committee meetings,
hospital cost reports from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the USVI government's
Open Finance database, which includes checkbook-level spending by the primary government. As
additional source data become available, BEA will incorporate the information and will release
updated estimates once a year.
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.

Definitions
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of the goods and
services produced by the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) 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 USVI.
Private fixed investment measures spending by USVI
private businesses, nonprofit institutions, and households
on structures and equipment that are used in the
production of goods and services.
Change in private inventories, or “private inventory
investment,” is a measure of the value of the change in the
physical volume of the inventories—additions less
withdrawals—that businesses maintain to support their
production and distribution activities.

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
USVI production of goods and services that is provided to
the rest of the world. Imports measures the portion of total
USVI 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.
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.
