AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Tourism Surge: Saint Lucia logged its strongest April on record, with 40,752 stay-over visitors—up 8.5% year-on-year—plus gains from the US, Caribbean and Canada as airlift and events keep demand rising. Fuel Pressure & Fares: With gasoline and diesel prices rising from June 1, transport leaders are warning of knock-on effects for the cost of living, while the taxi sector pushes for clearer, automatic fare adjustments tied to fuel changes. Crime Debate: Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre rejected opposition claims linking government policy to violent crime, as the public safety fight stays front and centre. Healthcare Upgrade: A new partnership brings genetic testing and advanced cancer diagnostics to Saint Lucia, aiming to cut delays and reduce the need to send samples overseas. Climate Resilience: Government received a new coastal climate risk tool to guide coastal protection, infrastructure planning and disaster preparedness. Youth & Culture: Republic Bank launched its “Five for Fun” youth cricket programme (sixth season), while schools celebrated Calypso & Soca wins and Junior Carnival showcases build momentum. Public Safety Ops: Police charged eight people after a Castries operation that seized suspected cannabis and involved an armed-robbery wanted suspect. Leadership & Legacy: Former Governor-General Sir Neville Cenac has died at 86, with a state funeral announced.
