AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoIndependence & Accountability: As SVG marks 47 years of independence, commentary calls for greater local ownership and fairer systems. Another reminder to the new government: change must mean consistent standards, not replacing old favouritism with new. CAF Financing: Parliament approved SVG’s membership in the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, including a US$2 million share purchase. Membership opens a route to financing, not guaranteed loans; opposition lawmakers warned borrowing may carry market-linked costs and urged investment in projects with lasting returns. Mangrove Protections: Minister Nigel Stephenson says no law currently protects mangroves, after concerns over removal in Canash. He said a development application was refused partly over its impact on mangroves and the government plans new protections. Airport Contracts: The government has ended Patriot’s nine-year, EC$79,254 master cleaning contract at Argyle airport, splitting the work into three packages after a tender process. Climate Planning: A new project aims to improve national emissions tracking and analysis, supporting SVG’s climate commitments and its next national climate plan.
