(Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Caribbean nations weighed down by debts must find ways to restructure what they owe to free up money for investment in climate-change resilience and disaster protection, country leaders said on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Debt restructuring could be the best option or a last resort, and other strategies to raise money could be more beneficial, said experts at the annual meeting of the Caribbean Development Bank.<\/p>\n

Low growth, economic downturns, disasters and weak fiscal management have left many Caribbean countries with excessively large public debts, such as Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica and Barbados, experts say.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Without freeing up capital or generating new sources of income, they could struggle to invest and protect against future shocks.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe believe there is an absolute need, particularly for the most vulnerable countries, to reduce the debt burden that we have incurred over a period of time,\u201d Grenada Prime Minister Keith Mitchell told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.<\/p>\n

Since being hard-hit by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, Grenada has negotiated a temporary halt to debt payments to kick in when disasters strike, he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It now uses money from a citizenship-by-investment system, in which investors get passports, to pay its debt.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Getting lenders to extend the length of loans or provide interest forgiveness would free up much-needed money, said Gaston Browne, prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThey can utilize those funds for other areas of development, even to assist with climate resilience,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Hurricane Irma last year cost Antigua and Barbuda $220 million, and the country is spending some two-thirds of its tax revenues on servicing its debt, he said.<\/p>\n

With low debt, Turks and Caicos Islands has started a national wealth fund to cushion against shocks but other countries need help getting lenders to tackle their debt loads, Premier Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson told the Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no other choice but to try and restructure debt to allow them to build back,\u201d she said, adding \u201cQuite a bit of the rebuilding is going to be from humanitarian efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamaica, Grenada and St Kitts and Nevis have defaulted and renegotiated debts in the past, but other countries should exhaust other options, said William Warren Smith, Caribbean Development Bank president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be a last resort,\u201d he said. \u201cIt raises all sorts of red flags about the management of your economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Grenada, countries should be temporarily relieved of debt payments in case of disasters, said Vonnie James, president of the Grenada Baptist Association, a church group lobbying for debt restructuring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to ensure that any debt facilities should be suspended and possibly forgiven until the country comes back to some form of restoration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But tight controls must insure that freed-up money is in fact funnelled into resilience projects, said Mark Pelling, geography professor at London\u2019s King\u2019s College.<\/p>\n

Low-tech investments in health, sanitation and education are a good option, more likely to save more lives than high-profile infrastructure projects, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs strong government to make sure that money is looked after and spent wisely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
