St. Vincent & the Grenadines is a member of the Organization of the Eastern Caribbean States and the eight of the nine member states of the OECC have adopted the East Caribbean Dollar as (XCD) as their common currency. Hence the currency of Grenadines & St. Vincent is also the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD). The XCD has been pegged to the United States Dollar (USD) since July 7, 1976 and the pegged exchange rate is 1 USD = 2.70 XCD. I expect that 1 USD = 2.70 XCD peg will be maintained for the forecasted period up to 2015
