- NDP launches National Conversation with business community
President of the New Democratic Party (NDP), the Hon. Dr Godwin Friday, has launched the National Conversation with the business community where we will discuss the party’s proposals to build a thriving domestic business community.
Dr Friday said, “If we want to create thousands of new and better paid jobs, and create opportunities, we need a thriving domestic business community. The ULP has failed to build a strong local private sector. This is not a case of choosing between foreign direct investment and building a strong local business community; we can and must do both.”
Dr. Friday added, “Under an NDP government, building a strong business community, with Vincentians building their future in SVG, will be one of our highest priorities. Creating an environment that support local businesses to start and grow will be critical as it will create new jobs, higher wages and build a future for everyone.”
He continued, “We have set out our proposals to start to build a stronger domestic business community, but we want to go further. We are starting a national consultation. Over the coming weeks, candidates of our party will be out in the community meeting local business owners and prospective business owners to discuss our ideas and seek insight from business people.”
The NDP has also initiated an online survey on doing business in SVG. Anyone can reach out to us to speak directly or fill out the survey on our party’s website and Facebook page.
