President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu says there is a need to promote investments in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and young entrepreneurs.
He made the remarks while speaking at the High-level Closing Ceremony of the SIDS Global Business Network (GBN) Forum 2024, held at Antigua and Barbuda.
In his remarks, the President also encouraged continuing dialogue between businesses and government agencies to create platforms for engagement to facilitate knowledge sharing and partnership development and increase partnerships.
He urged banks, multilateral institutions, and other financial entities to prioritize actions that make finance more accessible, affordable, and tailored to the needs of the private sector.
Concluding the speech, the President emphasized that the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS can only be achieved when the governments of SIDS partner with the private sector and prioritize the private sector in efforts to realize resilient and inclusive prosperity for all.
This event was organized by the Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States (OHRLLS).
