ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Dominica’s President Eliud Williams Wednesday urged nationals residing overseas to contribute to the growth of the local economy.
Delivering the traditional Throne Speech ahead of the budget presentation by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, Williams, a former senior public servant, said that one of the challenges facing the country is the creation of sustainable jobs.
“It is generally well recognized that innovative approaches must be developed using existing and new technology to greatly increase the rate of growth from the existing levels of between two and three per cent annually to levels  closer to five per cent on a consistent basis in order to achieve the desired turn around.”
