BARBADOS TODAY<\/strong>– The head of a University of the West Indies think tank suggested on Monday that the era of easy revenue from \u201cgolden passports\u201d sold by several Caribbean nations is over, after some of the world\u2019s richest nations, including former colonial powers, urged them to toughen safeguards on citizenship-by-investment schemes or scrap them entirely.<\/p>

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

Professor Don Marshall, director of the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (SALISES), said Caribbean nations have failed to heavily vet selling citizenship and offering financial incentives to foreign investors, rather than focusing on developing productive, diversified economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His warning follows a shift in EU policy outlined in a report published on December 19, which builds on a hearing in April this year that deemed Malta\u2019s \u201cgolden passport\u201d scheme illegal. The European Court of Justice ruled that the scheme violated EU law by commercialising citizenship and undermining mutual trust among member states. The report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council \u2014 titled \u201cFifth Report under the Visa Suspension Mechanism\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 emphasises that strengthened screening, rigorous safeguards and strict vetting procedures are needed for visa-free access arrangements, and warns that failure to comply could result in visa-free access being suspended.<\/p>

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

The EU report states that citizenship schemes raise security and mobility implications.<\/p>

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

Caribbean states operating CBI programmes must now implement rigorous safeguards or reconsider them entirely, or risk suspension or loss of visa-free EU travel with major economic and diplomatic consequences. Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia rely on such access, but the report warns that without stronger controls, visa-free travel could be revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Marshall explained: \u201cA number of EU countries are concerned about individuals moving into their financial systems without proper vetting being subject to blacklists or grey lists. This is because they, together with the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and FATF (Financial Action Task Force), are the regulators of these international activities. Western officials hold key positions, and consultants who advise in the financial industry are often recruited to advise on regulations.\u201d<\/p>

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

He added that Caribbean governments, having abandoned industrial policy in keeping with neoliberal economics, had focused on establishing market-oriented economies, financial services as key measures to stimulate growth and attract investment inflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne by one, each government recognised that a direct stimulus was required to further economic investment, and so the CBI programme emerged as a policy response. Over time, a \u2018race-to-the-bottom\u2019 developed as countries competed for a financial investment threshold, decreasing in exchange for the endorsement of local citizenship. That was once a US$250,000 (US$300,000) investment \u2014 today as low as US$100,000 ($200,000).\u201d<\/p>

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

Referencing Barbados\u2019 recently passed Economic Diversification and Growth Fund Bill, which allocates $225 million over three financial years in annual instalments of $75 million to support foreign investors, Professor Marshall said: \u201cThe claim that this bill establishes foreign direct investment policy is questionable. What does it do to stabilise the economy or create productive sectors of the region\u2019s economies like tourism or agriculture?\u201d<\/p>

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

The majority of private reward inflows remain stubbornly in property development and real estate speculation. Others have been drawn to fossil fuel potential on the islands\u2019 ocean floors but its exploitation and decommissioning potential is not in Antigua, nor in the electricity of its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political expert added that this was because planners and advisers had not broken with tradition and had not attempted to move beyond the neo-colonial legacy from the extractive, raw-material-colonial phase of the traditional capitalist classes who remain in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Marshall said: \u201cNew arrivals in insurance, banking, retail and property rentals also proliferate in the small and micro-business lobbies and this serves to reinforce the very conservative enterprise culture that tends to overcome the free economies era to push past their limited diversification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my view, a collective to broaden the absence of a developmental state, the failure to delineate an industrial policy, and the failure to engage in initiatives that can give rise to a new economic class. Overcoming coloniality is a transformation venture that goes far beyond flag independence and there remains work at the UWI.\u201d<\/p>\n
