Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development and Investment. It is my distinct honour to serve the citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis in this vital ministry, which plays a crucial role in shaping the economic landscape of our twin-island Federation. Our mission is to stimulate sustainable economic growth, attract high-quality investments, and create an environment that enables our citizens and businesses to thrive.

As a Ministry, we are dedicated to designing and implementing policies and strategies that promote national development, foster innovation, and strengthen economic, social, and climate resilience. Through effective planning, project execution, and strong public-private partnerships, we aim to create meaningful jobs, reduce inequality, and improve the standard of living for everyone. The Ministry of Economic Development and Investment acts as a catalyst for change. Therefore, through our National Development Planning Framework 2023-2037, we are working to diversify the economy by bolstering traditional sectors like agriculture, manufacturing and tourism and venturing into new areas such as renewable energy, digital innovation and green industries.

We recognize that attracting responsible investment—both local and foreign—is crucial for unlocking the full potential of our economy. As we move forward, we will ensure that all development is people-centred and aligned with our national vision of transforming St. Kitts and Nevis into a Sustainable Island State. This Ministry’s work will encompass measurable metrics and investment to improve lives, strengthen communities, and build a future in which we can all take pride. I invite you to explore this platform to learn more about our initiatives, investment opportunities, and progress as we build a resilient economy that benefits every Kittitian and Nevisian.
