A delegation from St Lucia’s Ministry of Commerce has completed a four-day study tour of the Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC), as eastern Caribbean island considers reshaping the institutional machinery that supports its micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. The visit, held from March 2 to 5, marks a deliberate shift in St Lucia’s thinking: away from a small, ministry-bound unit and towards a more autonomous agency modelled on Jamaica’s long-established approach.
