Government Subsidies Keep St. Kitts and Nevis Cooking Gas Prices Lowest in the ECCU
Basseterre, St. Kitts, November 6, 2026 (PMO) — The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis will continue subsidising cooking gas to keep the cost of a 20-pound cylinder at EC$30 and a 100-pound cylinder at EC$140, Prime Minister, the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew, said at The Roundtable on Thursday, November 5. Both prices are currently the lowest in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) as reported by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank’s July 2026 comparison.
Prime Minister Drew said the government has placed particular emphasis on the 20-pound cylinder because it is the size many lower-income households rely on for daily cooking. He put the subsidy for the smaller cylinder at about EC$2 million.
