Gross Domestic Product for the U.S. Virgin Islands, 2022
Gross Domestic Product by Industry and Compensation by Industry, 2021
Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) decreased 1.3 percent in 2022 after
increasing 3.7 percent in 2021 (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 of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
GDP for 2022
The decrease in real GDP reflected declines in exports, private fixed investment, government spending,
and personal consumption expenditures that were partly offset by an increase in inventory investment
(chart 1). Imports, a subtraction item in the calculation of GDP, decreased.

Exports of goods and services decreased 18.9 percent (table 1.3), reflecting a decrease in exports of
goods that was partly offset by an increase in exports of services. The decline in exports of goods
primarily reflected decreases in exports of crude oil and petroleum products. The increase in exports of
services primarily reflected growth in spending by visitors. Total visitor arrivals increased 69.7 percent in
2022 according to information published by the USVI government.
Private fixed investment decreased 18.6 percent (table 1.3), reflecting declines in spending on
equipment and structures. Investment spending continued to decline after being elevated in prior years
to support capital improvement projects including the restart of the oil refinery on St. Croix.
Government spending decreased 4.4 percent (table 1.3), reflecting declines in territorial and federal
government spending. Territorial government spending decreased 2.6 percent, reflecting a decline in
construction activity. Federal government spending continued to decline in 2022 after being elevated in
prior years to support reconstruction activities following the 2017 hurricanes.
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased 1.0 percent (table 1.3), reflecting an increase in
consumer prices (table 1.5) that outpaced the increase in current-dollar PCE (table 1.1).
Private inventory investment increased reflecting a smaller decline in private inventories (table 1.2),
due to a smaller drawdown in crude oil and petroleum product inventories compared to 2021.
GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2021
In 2021, real GDP increased 3.7 percent. The newly available GDP by industry data, which are released
on a 1-year lag, reveal that the private sector was the source of growth in real GDP in 2021 (table 2.5).
The increase in the private sector reflected growth in services-producing industries that was partly
offset by a decline in goods-producing industries. Services-producing industries increased 10.9 percent
(table 2.4). The largest source of growth within services-producing industries was accommodation and
food services, reflecting an increase in visitor spending. Goods-producing industries decreased 13.8
percent, reflecting a decline in construction activity.
The government sector decreased 5.4 percent (table 2.4), primarily reflecting operating losses of
government utilities and a decrease in territorial government employment.
Total compensation decreased from $2,546 million in 2020 to $2,306 million in 2021 (table 2.6). The
$240 million decrease reflected a decrease in private-sector compensation. The largest contributor to
the decrease was goods-producing industries.

Updates to USVI GDP and Its Components
Estimates for 2018–2021 that were released on May 22, 2023, have been revised to incorporate
updates to source data including the following:
•
•
•

Newly available draft and audited financial statements for the Government of the USVI and
its independent agencies
Updated consumer price indexes for 2020 and 2021 from the Virgin Islands Bureau of
Economic Research
Revised data on shipments from the joint U.S. Census Bureau and BEA “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 2022 are preliminary estimates. As of April 2024, most of the USVI government's fiscal year 2022
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, reports on federal grant expenditures and disaster recovery
progress, 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.
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 USVI Paused
The annual publication of BEA’s GDP statistics for the USVI 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 USVI's economic statistics into the future. Without funding,
BEA is pausing the production of GDP statistics for the USVI. When funding and improved data
sources become available, BEA plans to resume production of these statistics.
Archived GDP statistics for the USVI will continue to be available on BEA’s website.

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 private
businesses, nonprofit institutions, and households on
structures and equipment that are used in the production
of goods and services in the USVI.
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.
