Small Business Funding to be Reallocated to East Coast Road Repair

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said that the World Bank funds initially targeted towards small businesses will be allocated to towards the repairs of the roads on the east coast. 

He said that this decision was taken by the Cabinet of Dominica and not by the World Bank. 

The Prime Minister said the World Bank has been exceptional in its assistance to Dominica but it isn’t making any decisions for the island.

He said that the Minister for Finance advises the Cabinet seeking approval and then previews the decisions to the World Bank.
