A Wever CAft meeting reviewed Aruba’s economic and public-finance position, tourism and the General Investment and Development Fund, according to a government account carried by 24ora. Finance Minister Geoffrey Wever met the Aruba financial-supervision board as part of regular discussions.
Provisional financial figures cited
The account cites a provisional country surplus of Afl. 261 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026, and Afl. 412 million for the collective sector, or 4.9% of GDP. It also cites a year-end debt projection near 61% of GDP, noting that the final collective-sector definition may affect that figure.
Tourism dependence and investment planning discussed
The report says the meeting addressed tourism vulnerability, diversification and the investment fund’s role in infrastructure, education, energy and development. Wever also acknowledged continuing work on financial administration and public-entity accounts. The source does not announce that the provisional figures are final audited results or that individual new projects have been approved.
