What changes in the program can we expect to see? What’s
the future?
We want to keep ahead of the curve. We are trying to get a
sense of where the market is headed, adjust it and adapt to
it. It’s a question of a sustainable future and how to set that
up. We have created a sustainable growth fund, the first in
the world. The funds will be used for basic health care and
education with offshore universities. The critical pillars are
to build up everything around the climate and environment,
to recover from frequent hurricanes, build out public
infrastructure, health care and education.
As a prime minister, what do you hope to achieve with your
islands’ CBI program?
I really want to set the platform for our CBI program to achieve
a unique status of being one of the best-run CBI programs
in the world. We want to be a model for others and want our
program to take our country to the next level. We want to
take people to a higher quality of living. We want a better life
for our children. In 1984, one year after our independence
from the United Kingdom, we created the idea of investment
immigration to the world. We are the longest running
program. We were trying to figure out how to take control of
our destiny. Investment by invitation was a win-win situation.
