OECS CIP Leaders Meet in Antigua to Safeguard Investment Programmes
Prime ministers and senior officials from five Eastern Caribbean states are meeting in St John’s, Antigua this week to chart the future of their Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CIPs).
Dubbed the Caribbean Investment Summit 2025, the event brings together Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, and St Kitts and Nevis—countries that rely heavily on CIP revenue as a key non-tax income source.
The summit comes amid mounting pressure from the EU and US to tighten or scrap such programmes, prompting regional coordination led by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB).
ECCB Governor Timothy Antoine is expected to deliver a regulatory update, followed by consultations on new legislative proposals.
Antigua’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne will address the forum, highlighting efforts to ensure transparency and professionalism in the country’s CIP operations.
The summit will also include a prime ministers’ roundtable where leaders will share national experiences and strategies to safeguard the programmes from external threats.

Long overdue. If we don’t fix the loopholes, the whole thing could crash down on us.
The region can’t afford to lose the trust of international investors.
Why CIP always feel like a ticking time bomb?
Let’s be honest, CIP could be a blessing, but only if it’s managed properly.
If we don’t fix this, the EU and US going blacklist us again. Mark my words.
Where’s the public accountability reports? I’d like to see where the CIP money really going.
If the EU stops the region’s visa free access, no one will be interested in the CIP anymore.
If the EU should stop their Visa Free access to the Region, no one will be interested in the CIP anymore.
