Ease of Doing Business in St. Kitts and Nevis declines; Federation ranks 134 of 190 nations
Basseterre, St. Kitts, October 24th 2017 – The nearly 3-year-old Timothy Harris Team Unity administration has failed in its manifesto promise to improve the ways of doing business in St. Kitts and Nevis.
The World Bank in its Ease of Doing Business report on St. Kitts and Nevis, ranks the twin-island Federation 134 out of 190 countries in 2017 compared to 127 out of 190 countries in 2016.
“St. Kitts and Nevis has dropped several points in seven of the ten benchmarks. There was a slight improvement in one benchmark while the other two remained the same,” said Leader of the Opposition, the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas during his weekly radio programme “Ask the Ledaer” on Kyss 102.5 FM on Tuesday.
