CARICOM states facing `perfect storm’

 

CARICOM member states face a “perfect storm” as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the deepening debt crisis.

This was one of the points raised by CARICOM Heads in their 41st meeting via videoconference on October 29th.

The communique released on October 30 said that Heads acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the development challenges already facing the Community and that CARICOM States have been more deeply affected than other developing states.
