St Kitts and Nevis leading OECS importer

The United States Census Bureau says the US imported goods totalling $42.9 million from the sub-regional Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) during the first six months of this year.



The figures show that St Kitts and Nevis was the leading OECS exporter with the goods and services sent from the twin-island Federation accounting for $25.7 million.



The combined exports of St Lucia, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and St Vincent and the Grenadines amounted to $17.2 million.



Last year, St Kitts and Nevis led the OECS in exporting goods and services worth nearly 50 million to the United States with the other OECS members accounting for 49.7 million.
