TEAM UNITY GOVERNMENT POSITIONING ST. KITTS AND NEVIS TO BE THE BEST MANAGED SMALL ISLAND STATE

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, July 19, 2018 (Press Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister) – The Team Unity-led Government, headed by Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, is positioning St. Kitts and Nevis to be the best managed small island state in the next ten years, and the strong economic signs are already indicating that the twin island Federation is heading in the right direction.

For the past 3 years, St. Kitts and Nevis has recorded positive economic growth, and as a result of the Government’s prudent fiscal management, the country now boasts the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio among the independent states in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). Additionally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected that St. Kitts and Nevis’ debt-to-GDP ratio would fall below the ECCU’s debt to GDP target of 60 percent in 2018, well ahead of other member states.
