AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

NCD Alert: President Sylvanie Burton told Parliament that Dominica recorded more than 1,100 hypertension diagnoses from 2020–2025, alongside over 600 new diabetes cases and nearly 600 cancer cases, urging prevention as a national priority and calling on families, schools, workplaces and communities to help tackle diabetes, heart disease, obesity and related illness. EU Visa Pressure on CBI: The EU has warned five Eastern Caribbean countries—including Dominica—that Citizenship-by-Investment programmes must be phased out by June 1, 2028 or risk losing visa-free access to Europe’s Schengen Area, citing its revised Visa Suspension Mechanism. Budget & Tax Shift: Finance Minister Dr. Irving McIntyre unveiled a 2026/27 budget of about EC$1.125B and a major personal income tax change: a 10% flat rate starting Jan 1, 2027 (with no tax for incomes up to EC$30,000). Health System Capacity: A regional PAHO/WHO workshop in Barbados strengthened Eastern Caribbean laboratory molecular diagnostic skills for emerging infections using standardized protocols and a One Health approach. Youth & Skills: MAANZ launched its annual Studentpreneur youth showcase and marketplace to build entrepreneurial skills and networks for young Dominicans. Sports & Community: Roseau North by-election discussions highlighted competing plans, including proposals tied to public health concerns like landfill and garbage management. US Visa Bond Mandate: Dominica is among CARICOM nations facing a permanent, mandatory US tourist visa bond requirement of up to $20,000, drawing accusations of bullying from regional leaders.
