“This is a herculean achievement,” PM Harris said.
“We achieved this milestone in spite of our comprehensive response in the aftermath of two Category 5 hurricanes that necessitated unbudgeted expenditures, particularly by the Ministry of National Security, Human Settlement, Education and the Public Sector Ministries, to name a few. We supported in cash the relief efforts of other countries – St. Maarten/St. Martin, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, and Anguilla,” Prime Minister Harris said on Thursday, adding, “Today, we are standing as the fiscally strongest country in the OECS and I’m certain within the Caribbean region, so this is a herculean achievement of which all of us must take pride.“ |
