BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Feb 14, CMC -The Monetary Council of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) says some of its member countries were not on track to secure the debt-gross domestic (GDP) ratio of 60 per cent by 2035, even as it emphasised the need for policy agility and strategic partnerships to mitigate external vulnerabilities.
The Council held a one-day meeting here on Friday against a backdrop of evolving global dynamics, shifting geopolitical conditions, and persistent structural challenges within the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).
It said that the deliberations focused on safeguarding monetary and financial stability while accelerating structural transformation under the region’s Big Push for Shared Prosperity and Resilience.
The ECCB regards “The Big Push Initiative,” as a call for a decade of transformative actions that will double the GDP of the economies of the ECCU and elevate the quality of life of the people of ECCU.
The ECCU groups the islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Montserrat.
