Economist: Urgent response needed from region

Caribbean economist and macroeconomic adviser Dr Kari Grenade is urging Caribbean countries to take immediate and future actions to liberate the region “from the bondage of economic insecurity”.

This includes lobbying at the highest level for changes to the proposed United States (US) policies which will hurt Caribbean economies, actively exploring alternative markets from which goods can be imported, as well as alternative trading partners, supply chains, and delivery routes, and increasing intra-regional trade.
