To obtain new measures of classical and growth cycles, simple rules were applied to date turning points in the classical business cycle, and a recently developed frequency domain filter was used to estimate the growth cycle. At the regional level, the ECCU countries are facing two shocks, id est, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and the depreciation of the Dominican Republic's peso. The countries of the ECCU have experienced modest erosion in their price and nonprice competitiveness.
