PM confident of economic growth in 2013
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC - Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas Wednesday said he remains confident that the twin island federation would record near two per cent economic growth this year.
He said the 1.9 per cent growth being predicted is reasonable based on “what we have seen from the performance of the local economy, having undergone a number of structural adjustments in changes generally and the importance revenue that is being provided especially to the leading productive sector in the economy.
“So 1.9 per cent growth, I see nothing wrong with that. It has been something that was identified by the IMF working closely with us and we believe that we can achieve this particular target,’ Dr. Douglas said on his weekly radio programme “Ask the Prime Minister”.
