AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Creative Industries & Jobs: PM Drew’s media tour spotlighted the $50m Prime Creative Arts Centre, a CBI-funded Public Benefit Option meant to become the Eastern Caribbean’s biggest integrated hub for creatives, with a projected three-year buildout. Food Security: Officials updated progress on the Greenhouse Village Initiative, aimed at cutting St. Kitts and Nevis’ heavy food import bill through climate-resilient greenhouse farming and farmer cooperatives. Medicinal Cannabis Regulation: The Medicinal Cannabis Authority says a Seed-to-Sale Track and Trace system is now being implemented, using real-time monitoring to strengthen patient safety, transparency, and prevent diversion. Energy Costs & Reliability: Nevis Premier Brantley urged electricity conservation as the domestic fuel surcharge returns, citing global oil volatility and the need to keep NEVLEC’s subsidy sustainable. Geothermal Push: Nevis also moved closer to drilling as the geothermal rig is expected to be mobilised soon after resolved delays. Tourism Demand: Star of the Seas brought 7,300+ passengers to Port Zante, boosting taxis, tours, vendors, and restaurants across Basseterre. Business Climate Signals: St. Kitts and Nevis ranked 8th globally in the 2026 Rumavi Global Relocation Index, topping the Caribbean on multiple mover categories. Policy & Governance: The National Assembly advanced a good-governance agenda, including Banking (Amendment) and Extradition (Amendment) reforms aimed at modernising systems and closing legal gaps. Regional Trade & Mobility: PM Drew called for fewer barriers between Africa and the Caribbean, including reciprocal visa-free travel and stronger air and maritime links. SME Financing Challenge: Caribbean Export Development Agency flagged persistent MSME financing gaps across the region, especially limited access to patient growth capital. Hospitality Investment: Park Hyatt St. Kitts added senior commercial leadership with new cluster sales and marketing appointments to support regional revenue growth. Cruise-to-Community Economy: The federation’s tourism lift from cruise arrivals continues to translate into day-to-day spending for local businesses.
