New ‘action’ mood in CARICOM?

Sep 23, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica - EVEN as Heads of Government of our Caribbean Community (CARICOM) appear to be moving away from a "pause mode" imposed three years ago in favour of a proactive approach on social and economic developments, they would, hopefully, avoid wasting scarce human resources and time in pursuit of new initiatives.
My unsolicited suggestion is being humbly offered in view of decisions taken at last Tuesday's meeting of the CARICOM Bureau in Port-of-Spain, and relates in particular to the recommendation for establishment of a special commission focused on reviving the economies of member states of the community.
When one objectively considers the plethora of officially mandated studies/reports pertaining to a variety of social, economic and fiscal management issues, it is not easy to generate enthusiasm for the proposed CARICOM Commission on the Economy (CCE).
