ROSEAU, Dominica – Dominica is moving to establish trade depots in Caribbean countries as the island seeks to solidify existing trade links within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Trade Minister Ian Douglas has said.
“As you would have heard during the presentation of the (national) budget, the government is moving ahead with establishing trade depots in some of our neighboring islands where we can have a presence in those markets,” Douglas said.
He said as the authorities move forward to bring the initiative into fruition, they will work closely with stakeholders “to devise ways that even your small businesses can benefit from this initiative, grow and become more successful.
“This measure, I believe, demonstrates that this government understands the nature of the contribution of the micro, small and medium enterprises to the Dominican economy for ensuring that economic activity remains steady and continues to grow.”
Douglas said that the Roosevelt Skerrit administration is playing its part to ensure the growth of all sectors to remain viable “and in the long term make a positive impact on economic life in this country.”
