Dominica, along with the other Eastern Caribbean countries operating Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CIPs), is set to participate in the annual Caribbean Investment Summit 2025 (CIS25) in Antigua and Barbuda from April 22 to 26.
Representatives from Dominica are expected to arrive on the island next week.
The event will take place at the American University of Antigua conference centre located at Jabberwock Beach.
Charmaine Donovan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Antigua and Barbuda CIU, emphasized that this summit, which focuses on the themes of integrity, stability, and sustainability, arrives at a crucial time.
Prime ministers and heads of respective CIP units from St. Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, and St. Lucia will attend this important conference in St. John’s.
With these programmes under increased scrutiny from European Union nations and the United States Donovan assured that an agreement signed a year ago aims to bolster their operations. She highlighted that CIS25 is a proactive effort to address international concerns about these programmes.
Antigua and Barbuda is focusing on integrity and transparency in its processes, reportedly making its programme widely regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for CIPs in the region.’
Things were sweeter under colonialism. Everyone could steal a little something from the masa. Post colonialism only one man can steal. But stealing from the poor people. I miss Mr. Colonial.
For how much longer will this unsustainable scheme remain the cash cow of these islands? The writing is on the wall – not much longer.
The Chinese boast tat they have no mineral resources but yet they have the world’s leading economy. They posited that they tapped into the brain power of their people to build technology to survive and advance.
There are millions of erudite people in the Caribbean. Many have migrated to diverse places all over the world pushing above their weight. Why can’t we also use our brain power to not only survive but thrive?
Our present ‘leaders’ are the ones who have us living on the periphery of life. Get rid of them. We need leaders like Ibrahim Traore – the leader of Burkina Faso.
All you still want to double down on CBI? The EU already threatening to follow the UK and ban our free access because of CBI. but no greed to greedy people is a way of life.
