AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Digital MSME Push: The Caribbean Development Bank and Barbados’ Small Business Association launched a regional initiative to help at least 150 MSMEs across Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia and St Vincent adopt digital tools, build resilience and compete globally, with inclusion for women-led and underserved firms. Digital Commerce Gap: Grenada’s trade minister warned Caribbean businesses are lagging in digital transactions (about 4–5% vs 18–19% in the US), urging faster policy support for mobile and online commerce. Hospital Governance Update: Grenada is drafting new public hospital legislation after a transition team found the 1998 Hospitals Authority Act no longer fits modern governance, finance and data protection; Phase 1 targets Parliament in October, with implementation eyed for early 2027. Trade & Services Data: OECS, UNCTAD and ECLAC wrapped up work to strengthen evidence-based policymaking for trade in services, using TiSSTAT to close data gaps and help countries plan export strategies. Cost of Living Relief: Grenada published a preliminary list of businesses eligible for its inaugural VAT-Free weekend (Aug 28–29) under an EC$18m relief package. Energy & Utilities Outreach: PURC concluded its Summer School Outreach, reaching 1,679 students with lessons on renewable energy, efficiency and water/electricity conservation. Maritime Career Spotlight: PM Dr Andrew Holness is set to keynote the ACMF’s 9th Annual Anchor Awards in November, highlighting shipping and logistics career pathways. Bilateral Business Links: Grenada’s PM Dickon Mitchell reaffirmed “very good” ties with Qatar, pointing to cooperation in education, healthcare, tourism, sports and economic development.
