The ECCU Heads of Governments, the ECCB Monetary Council and the OECS Economic Union Task Force will be holding a regional interactive discussion with the public via videoconference on Thursday, 23 July 2009 at 8:00 p.m.
The videoconference which is expected to last for two hours will address:
(i) The OECS Economic Union, and
(ii) The ECCU Eight Point Stabilisation and Growth Programme.
This is a historic conference as it will be the first time that a regional public discussion with top government officials and other leaders has been organised to advance the economic agenda of the region. Additionally, the economy and the way forward for the countries of the OECS are on everybody’s mind and as such a discussion of this magnitude is not only timely but also necessary.
Following the presentations, the public will be given the opportunity to engage the officials with questions and comments on the issues arising from the presentations either via face to face in the case of the studio audiences or via internet or text messages.
The discussion will be aired on participating radio and televisions stations from 8:00 pm.
