The talk of economic integration and the creation of a single market and economy for all CARICOM member states should be followed by robust implementation, according to the new Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Prime Minister of Belize, John Antonio Briceño.
Briceño made the call yesterday at the opening of the 33rd inter-sessional meeting of CARICOM heads in San Pedro, Belize.
Providing statistics on the current state of the region, the Prime Minister in his maiden address as Chair, expressed that the community is battling one of the worst economic recessions in modern history. He explained that in 2020 most countries saw a double-digit economic contraction while thousands became unemployed.
