The Caribbean Export Development Agency (CEDA) yesterday announced that the Caribbean Investment Forum will be held in Guyana this year and its head, Deodat Maharaj, hopes that when CARICOM leaders meet here next month that plans for the intra-regional ferry service are finalised.
“There are three things, the free movement of our people across all occupational categories and second is a formal agreement and an announcement for intra-regional transportation, including, the timetable when this first inter-regional ferry will start and the plans going forward to expand this ferry service to include other countries,” the Executive Director of CEDA [Caribbean Export] told the Stabroek News yesterday as he listed areas he hopes are discussed at next month’s CARICOM Heads of Government meeting, to be held here.
He added, “Also the ease of doing business in the Caribbean. We need to radically transform how we do business in the Caribbean, in terms of regulatory and policy environment because the Caribbean is a very difficult place to do business.”
