Prime Minister Christie pushes for creative industry investments

A substantial amount of foreign direct investment must continue to build on the traditional sectors where the Caribbean has a competitive advantage, which include tourism, financial services, business service outsourcing, fisheries and agro-processing.

We recognize however, that with 60% of our population under the age of 30 and a propensity among our youth for the pursuit of excellence in sports, art, music and cultural endeavours, we must find ways to invest more in  the creative industries that can feed into our main economic pillars and develop sustainable linkages across sectors of our economy.
