AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Waste & Public Health: Bellevue Chopin resident Frances Harvey says a months-long pile of bagged household garbage on her property is still uncollected despite repeated requests and a promised paid special pickup—now attracting rats and raising health and safety concerns for her family and neighbours. NCDs & Prevention: President Sylvanie Burton told Parliament that Dominica recorded over 1,100 hypertension diagnoses from 2020–2025, alongside more than 600 new diabetes cases and nearly 600 cancer cases, urging prevention as a national priority and calling for families, schools, workplaces and communities to help. Budget & Health Funding: In the 2026/2027 budget, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Social Services received EC$75.4 million (11.2% of recurrent spending) for medicines, healthcare worker employment, and hospital operations. Tax & Household Impact: Finance Minister Dr. Irving McIntyre announced a major personal income tax shift: a 10% flat rate from Jan 1, 2027, replacing the 15/25/35 tiers, with no personal income tax for earners up to EC$30,000. Regional Cooperation: Burton also pushed for stronger CARICOM/OECS-led collaboration on climate change, health security, food security, disaster preparedness and free movement. CBI Pressure: The EU urged five Eastern Caribbean states, including Dominica, to phase out citizenship-by-investment programmes by June 1, 2028 or risk losing Schengen visa-free access.
