Last update: 11 hours ago

Cost-of-Living Relief: Prime Minister Godwin Friday unveiled a 90-day emergency package to cushion rising fuel, electricity, cooking gas, and freight costs, including fuel price caps (gas 16.92, diesel 16.26) and tax/charge cuts aimed at slowing imported inflation. Cooking Gas Support: Government removed 100% of the customs service charge on LPG for 90 days to stabilize household budgets, with freight rates rolled back to January levels. Trade Modernization: VSWIFT (Vincy Single Window for Trade) is being rolled out to let businesses handle licenses, permits, and trade documents through one connected system across 19 departments and partners. Food Security Push: IICA delivered an agribusiness management workshop to help operators move toward export readiness, while ZHTF received seed barrels from Still Kickin’ Charity to boost backyard gardening and local production.

Regional Skills & Justice: OHADAC–CARO arbitration and ADR training programmes will be officially launched June 10, strengthening dispute resolution for Caribbean businesses. Health Misinformation Check: The Ministry of Health dismissed WhatsApp rumors of Hantavirus cases, saying there are no suspected or confirmed cases. Tourism & Workforce: Sandals introduced a student hospitality etiquette and service excellence programme, and local taxi operator Kendal Neverson says Sandals’ arrival is bringing steadier work. Diplomacy: SVG’s new ambassador Kenton X. Chance presented credentials to Taiwan’s President Lai, with cooperation flagged in smart agriculture, medicine, and ICT.
