Saint Lucia hosts Caribbean Investment Summit as Pierre weighs oil-shock budget

Saint Lucia hosted CIS26 from May 6 to 9, bringing together regional heads of government from CBI territories. Prime Minister Pierre and Tourism Minister Hilaire delivered remarks at the Leadership Forum at Secrets Resort May 6, with Pierre returning May 7 for a panel at Royalton Resort with heads from Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis, moderated by OECS Director General Dr. Didicus Jules. Pierre’s framing centred on the structural pressure facing small island states in a tightening global regulatory environment. He also continues to warn that oil at US$200 per barrel would be “horrendous” for Saint Lucia.
