“We discussed joint approaches to debt and financial management. We discussed the setting up of a mechanism for a Stabilisation Committee, one which has already been established in St Kitts and we are now looking at one for Nevis,” Douglas told reporters during his monthly Press Conference on Tuesday.
Douglas said the two Committees are to meet quarterly to discuss joint fiscal planning and debt management in a harmonised way.
He said he also discussed with the Nevis Island Administration, headed by Premier Joseph Parry, crime and security matters and the need for the necessary infrastructure and for greater collaboration in the fight against this issue.
'Of course, there are concerns with regard to our prison system and that was the centre of our discussions and concerns," he said.
The Federal Government and the Nevis Island Administration also discussed several infrastructure projects including water development both in the island of St Kitts and in the Island of Nevis. |
