Abstract:

The paper reviews Nicaragua’s vital statistics and the major economic and political events since the end

of the Somoza Era. The poorest country in Central America, Nicaragua is projecting a larger role in the

global economy because of its plan to construct a canal to rival the Panama Canal, which would have

major consequences for Nicaragua and Panama as well as for China and the United States. Using a

framework that assesses the performance of a national economy that participates in today’s globalized

world, I identify the strengths and weaknesses of Nicaragua towards the end of enhancing the future

performance of its economy.
