AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

CARICOM Trade Talks: Dominica’s Dr. Vince Henderson chairs the 62nd COTED meeting in Georgetown as CARICOM SG Dr. Carla Barnett warns energy-market shocks and higher fuel, food and fertiliser costs could push inflation and worsen food security across the region. Geothermal Power Update: PM Roosevelt Skerrit says Dominica is now feeding geothermal onto the national grid, but outages continue during commissioning; once testing ends, the government expects lower electricity rates and less reliance on imported fuel. DOMLEC Performance: DOMLEC reports $1.99m profit for the financial year, citing stronger sales and renewable performance, with geothermal expected to further cut consumer costs. CBI Rules Tightened: Dominica will require successful Citizenship by Investment applicants to visit in person and collect renewed passports locally, aiming to strengthen integrity and meet international expectations. Tourism Staffing: Discover Dominica Authority appoints Wendy Lake as Destination Marketing Manager to boost brand work and trade partnerships as demand rises for nature, wellness and adventure travel. Agriculture & Food Security: CARICOM opens nominations for Farmer of the Year and Young Farmer of the Year awards, while Dominica also plans a near-$700,000 animal feed mill to cut import dependence and stabilize feed supply. Infrastructure & Resilience: PM Skerrit flags progress on the Windsor Park Stadium handover by month-end and launches DOMCREP, a $70.2m climate resilience project supporting 8,000 people and over 520 farmers/agro-processors. Local Governance: Roseau North MP Miriam Blanchard resigns on medical grounds; a by-election is expected within 90 days.
