PM SKerrit giving the speech in Dubai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit\u00a0 recently gave a speech in Dubai discussing the role of the Citizenship by Investment Programme in Dominica’s socioeconomic development. He emphasized how the programme has contributed to economic growth, job creation, and infrastructure improvements. Skerrit also highlighted the importance of unity among Caribbean nations offering similar programmes.<\/p>\n

Mentioning a recent agreement among OECS countries to standardize legislation, application processes, due diligence, and information sharing, he expressed optimism about these efforts and stressed the importance of good governance in the CBI sector.<\/p>\n

Skerrit also emphasized the programme’s role in progress, prosperity, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Further, the Prime Minister credited the CBI programme for aiding Dominica’s recovery after Hurricane Maria in 2017. He underscored the programme’s value in generating revenue quickly after the disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to continue generating revenues from the programme, literally 48 to 72 hours after the hurricane hit us. While all other aspects of our economy came to a halt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confirming the country’s commitment to the core principles of the programme he stated, \u201cWe understand the importance of the programme to many people, and to our country, but we want to ensure that the programme maintains its integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his visit, the prime minister met with industry stakeholders and thanked them for their contributions to the CBI Programme’s success. He highlighted the agents’ responsibility in ensuring the programme’s continued success.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026you as agents and developers and promoters, you have one of the most sacred responsibilities where the programme is concerned. What you do can ensure the continued success of the programme, and that’s why the programme has been successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director Marie-Therese Johnson, Director of the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CBIU), concurred, emphasizing the agents’ role in guiding potential investors and shaping their futures.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour role as agents is not just about transactions; it is about shaping destinies, forging connections, and building bridges to a brighter tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skerrit relayed that adherence to laws and regulations governing the CBI programme highlights the sanctity of citizenship.<\/p>\n

Along those lines, he expressed that the CBIU prioritizes transparency in its operations, focusing on clear communication, documentation, and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

He rallied his confidence in the future of the Dominica CBI programme and committed to maintaining high standards.<\/p>\n

The vision, according to the prime minister, is a prosperous and sustainable future for Dominica through collaboration and partnership in the global citizenship landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit\u00a0 recently gave a speech in Dubai discussing the role of the Citizenship by Investment Programme in Dominica’s socioeconomic development.
