Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell is in St Lucia at the Caribbean Investment Summit 2026, joining regional leaders including PM Pierre, PM Skerrit, and PM Browne for four days of high-level discussion at the intersection of regulatory convergence, market transformation, and sovereign portfolio strategies. Mitchell speaks during the opening panel on a new era of CBI regulation. Citizenship-by-investment programmes face a tightening international scrutiny environment, and the Eastern Caribbean’s collective regulatory posture matters for whether the asset class survives intact through the next financing cycle.
Reaction at home includes a sceptical online voice asking why the discussion isn’t on Zoom given jet fuel shortages and “poor economic performance by the islands involved.” The comment is worth noting because it captures a public mood that regional travel by political leaders during cost-of-living pressure looks indulgent, regardless of the substantive case for in-person diplomacy.
Carenage sewer line installation by NAWASA begins tonight, with traffic arrangements in effect daily from 9 pm to 3 am until further notice. The work is among the more visible NAWASA capital projects in St George’s. Night-shift sewer installation suggests the agency wants to minimise daytime business disruption — a small operational courtesy that carries meaningful political dividend.
Grenada’s delegation at the Venice Biennale d’Arte di Venezia continues to draw attention. The delegation visited 25 national pavilions in the Giardini, with the British, German, French, and Japanese pavilions particularly resonant. Susan Mains, Jeverson Ramirez, and Arthur Daniel are representing Grenada at one of the most prestigious art world platforms in the world. Caribbean presence at the Biennale matters less for tourism marketing and more for cultural sovereignty in spaces historically dominated by Northern hemisphere institutions.
Spicemas 2026 launched at the National Cricket Stadium, with traffic arrangements taking effect from 11 am yesterday. The launch is the first marker of carnival season planning, with full festival activity stretching across the months ahead.
The Grenada Tourism Authority has Project Officer and Accounts Manager vacancies open. The National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission announces Grenada has been appointed Second Vice-Chair of the Executive within an unnamed regional body — the appointment matters for sectoral influence even when the body’s full title doesn’t make the headline.
Watch how regulatory convergence on CBI moves out of the summit and into national legislative action. Communiqués are easy. Statutes are hard.
