BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — Efforts to strengthen the advancement of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Single Market and Economy (CSME) will continue following recent developments that promote the free movement of people, goods, services and capital, and robust discussions slated for the (CARICOM) 30th Inter-Sessional Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
The CSME is designed to deepen economic integration among member states of the Caribbean Community by creating a single economic space for the production of competitive goods and services among participating members.
In December 2018, CARICOM Heads of Government expanded the category of skilled workers who can move freely to include agricultural workers, security guards, beauticians, and barbers.
CARICOM outgoing Chair and Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Most Honourable Andrew Holness said, “these are significant elements that will help to debunk the myths that the free movement of skilled personnel caters only for a few.” http://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/featured/caricom-discussions-highlight-single-market-and-economy/
