St. Kitts looks to CARICOM for help on high-income status

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas says he will look towards his Caribbean Community (CARICOM) colleagues to help St. Kitts-Nevis deal with the new high income country status placed on it by the United States. Dr. Douglas said that his administration would pursue talks with the Obama administration so as to ensure that despite the new status the trading privileges afforded to other CARICOM countries are preserved. We are expected to have an increase in the quality of service that we provide and improvement in the quality of the goods that we would trade to other countries, Dr. Douglas said.
