At today’s panel discussion during the 2025 Caribbean Investment Summit (CIS25), I had the honour of joining my fellow colleagues, Prime Ministers Hon. Gaston Browne (Antigua & Barbuda), Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit (Dominica), Hon. Philip J. Pierre (St. Lucia), and Attorney General Hon. Garth Wilkin (St. Kitts and Nevis), for a high-level conversation on “Integrity and Stability in Regional Investment Migration.”
As leaders of Caribbean nations with established Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CBIs), we engaged in a forward-thinking discussion on how to safeguard the credibility of our programmes through:
- Strengthened regional collaboration on due diligence and vetting
- Balancing integrity with competitiveness
- Adapting to global regulatory shifts
- Fostering investor confidence through transparency
- Harmonising policies across the region
- Leveraging CBI frameworks for sustainable national growth
The integrity of our programmes must be actively preserved, through vigilance, collaboration, and a collective commitment to upholding the highest standards. By doing so, we ensure that the benefits of these programmes reach our people, strengthen our economies, and safeguard our reputation as trusted partners on the global stage.
