Mr. Speaker, I will now update this Honourable House on the BVI Financial Services Sector, moving forward together.

​Mr Speaker, over the past 16 months, as a Government, we have been committed to ‘Good Governance’ and I find it important to make this statement on renewable energy for Anegada.

Mr Speaker, like many our countries in the world the outbreak of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, has severely impacted the economy of the British Virgin Islands. 

It gives me great pleasure on behalf of Premier Honourable Andrew A. Fahie to bring remarks on this very important occasion as we continue as a Government to move the Territory forward in our economic response to various sectors of the economy of the Virgin Islands.

Good day to all.

You would have seen the Ministry of Health’s press release this morning on the increased COVID-19 prevention measures that have been put in place for Jost Van Dyke.

Ladies and gentlemen, in fulfillment of our commitment to keep the community informed and updated on COVID-19 developments...

I would first like to apologize for the length of my presentation this morning as the relevant subject matter is not only very important to the Territory, but as the old adage goes, in order to know where you are going you also need to know where you came from.

As Junior Minister for Tourism, I am pleased to be here this morning on behalf of Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie as we turn a new leaf in renewable energy in the Territory, specifically for the people and businesses on Anegada.

Please see document attached

I say good day and God’s blessings to everyone here at home in the Virgin Islands as well as to our wider financial services industry family all around the world.
