Grenada remains one of the fastest growing economies in the Caribbean, creating an attractive investment climate where investor confidence remains very strong. Regional and international institutions like the Caribbean Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund have hailed Grenada as a model and credited the Government for prudent fiscal management. Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Programme is endorsed by Government. We welcome qualified and reputable investors to make an invaluable contribution to the long- term development and prosperity of Grenada while earning the desired returns on their investments. 2015 Source: Grenada Ministry of Finance Grenada continues to experience many positive developments on the economic front which are underpinned by Government’s prudent financial management of the economy. Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Programme has been thoroughly researched, restructured, re-developed and re-launched to encourage increased levels of private investment to help create opportunities for growth and employment. The programme is well-regulated and highly regarded for its level of due diligence. The International Monetary Fund has in fact described Grenada’s CBI Programme as the gold standard for transparency and for having a strong legislative framework. 2014 11 2015 72 2 15 2016 Citizen Grenada 2017 2018 5
