My dear Virgin Islands people, a pleasant good day, and God’s blessings to you and your families. 

This evening, I come to you to give an address on the economy, titled: An Economic Boost for Virgin Islands on the Horizon.

Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to renew my appeals to the members of the public to bear with their Government as we develop and implement the measures to further stabilise their social and economic situation and to put the foundation in place for their future.

The public is invited to view the transcript of the British Virgin Islands Economic Response Plan on the Government’s website,

Small businesses and residents affected by COVID-19 can now register for the BVI Electricity Corporation’s COVID-19 Amnesty Programme as part of the Government of the Virgin Islands Economic Response Package.

Minister for Transportation, Works and Utilities, Honourable Kye Rymer witnessed today the contract signing by contractors for works to begin on the additional third lane project in the Traffic Enhancement and Improvement Programme within the city of Road Town.

My dear Virgin Islanders, Belongers and residents, I wish all of you God’s blessings.

In my address of 19 May, 2020, I promised to provide an update on your Government’s ongoing economic response as we continue to live and work in the face of COVID-19—the New Regular. 

Hoy os saludo en el maravilloso nombre del Gran Dios del Universo que sigue teniendo misericordia de nosotros como Territorio.

Today, I greet you in the wonderful name of the Great God of the Universe who continues to have mercy on us as a Territory.

On Monday, April 27 we lifted the 24hour 14-day curfew and we entered the ‘New Regular’—the new way of life living and working with COVID-19 in the British Virgin Islands.

We all stepped out in Faith, trusting in God, under a new curfew from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 P.M. daily, and this would be for the next 14 days until May 10, 2020.
