Recently, the Government of St Kitts and Nevis was in London to engage with investors to promote the twin-island federation as an investment destination and to drive investment into the country.
Private investment banks, immigration law firms as well as investor immigrant agents attended the event. The Government of St Kitts and Nevis and its Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) received many compliments. They’ve been working together in an unprecedented manner to put St Kitts and Nevis on a sustainable inclusive growth path.
The future of citizenship by investment in St Kitts and Nevis
St Kitts and Nevis recently made substantial positive upgrades to the country’s investment immigration programme, a predominant driver of economic diversification in the island.
Speaking at the conference, Head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit, Michael Martin said
“For nearly 40 years, St Kitts and Nevis has been the pioneer of the global investor immigration industry.”
“It’s imperative that the Government of St Kitts and Nevis and its Citizenship by Investment Programme (CBI) continue to adapt to the needs of our people and to attract the right kind of international investment necessary to uplift our country.”
“The benefits to the international investor remain, from the opportunity to do business no matter where you are in the world, to enjoying our nation’s stability and safe lifestyle. Our economic citizenship programme is not just designed to benefit international investors, it also boosts local industries due to hard capital flowing in and has enabled our citizens to thrive amid the global uncertainty.”
Economic and social development
The evolution of their (CBI) programme is a sign of the country’s commitment to strengthening its economy and will play a major role in enabling the country to strategically diversify the economy.
The country’s Sustainable Growth Fund for example, was established with a view to facilitating economic development and social upliftment in the country. Educational institutions and medical facilities also receive financial support from the fund.
It also provides additional funding for:
- the construction of infrastructure
- the development of local tourism
- the preservation of local culture and heritage
- and the support of sustainable growth initiatives in the country.
