Office of the Prime Minister – Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre, supported by his Cabinet, is making a concerted effort to implement strategic economic policies to create a more equitable and conducive economic environment that will grow Saint Lucia’s middle class and build on the encouraging economic gains of the last 18 months.

The Pierre Administration continues to advance its People First agenda by leveraging public borrowing to invest in the local micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector to give more ordinary Saint Lucians increased access to business capital. 

In November, he secured XCD 9.99 million from the Caribbean Development Bank’s Special Development Fund 10th Cycle Loan Facility to provide additional support to entrepreneurs and startups and micro and small businesses.
