St Kitts PM calls for national dialogue on productivity

St Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister, Denzil Douglas, is calling for a national dialogue on productivity in the country.



Dr Douglas made the call at the launch of the St Kitts and Nevis branch of the Jamaica-based Insurance Company of the West Indies (ICWI).



The prime minister says the public and private sectors need to work together to fashion cohesive strategies that apply to every productive sector of the economy.



According to Dr Douglas, food production has been under-resourced, while the food import bill has increased steadily over the years.
