AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Geothermal & Energy Transition: Dominica’s President Sylvanie Burton told the UN General Assembly the country’s geothermal plant is now in commercial operation, lifting renewable electricity to about 84% and targeting 100% renewables by 2030, framing clean power as an economic transformation engine. Climate Finance Push: Burton also urged partners to fund resilience before disasters hit—arguing small states shouldn’t be forced into borrowing for reconstruction—and invited the world to use Dominica as a “living laboratory” for resilient development. Public Works & Access: PM Roosevelt Skerrit visited the Aux Delices landslide site and announced plans to stabilise the damaged O’Delices Road stretch and upgrade the Delices–Petite Savanne alternative route. Banking & Consumer Protection: Parliament passed the Banking Amendment Bill 2026 to strengthen ECCB oversight, improve how banks treat customers, and expand financial market conduct and inclusion functions. Development Financing: Finance Minister Dr. Irving McIntyre sought parliamentary approval for an IDA credit facility of about EC$68.6 million to bolster fiscal and climate resilience. Agriculture & Food Security: A national seminar focused on strengthening poultry and pig production, highlighting the upgraded National Abattoir at Layou Park and efforts to help farmers prepare for expanded output. Migrant Labour Policy: IOM and the agriculture ministry advanced a policy and action plan to integrate migrant labour into agriculture, aiming to address labour shortages while improving governance. Crypto/Banking Risk Watch: A major U.S. civil forfeiture case involving Capstone and Dominica-licensed EQIBank is in the spotlight; Tether says its EQIBank exposure is under 0.034% of group assets, while EQIBank warns seized funds could force liquidation. Governance/Justice: The DPP discontinued a nine-year obstruction charge against UWP leader Dr Thomson Fontaine tied to a 2017 Roseau public meeting. Regional Diplomacy: Dominica participated in India–CARICOM foreign ministers talks on trade, investment, digital governance, climate resilience and energy.
