The British Virgin Islands (BVI) has called on the United Nations (UN) Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to develop a productive transformation strategy for the Caribbean that is tailored to the specific conditions and needs of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean whose economies rely primarily on services.
The call was made by BVI Special Envoy Benito Wheatley in his official statement at the 41st session of ECLAC in de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, as his term as Vice Chair of UN ECLAC’s highest intergovernmental body on behalf of the BVI ended.
