Samuel, Wendell A.
Proposal economic development strategy for the OECS/ECLB area - Eastern Caribbean Central Bank Basseterre February, 1992 - 60 p.
Examines the natural resources of the OECS, noting that the sub-region is not resource rich. In spite of this, the abundant marine and human resources are under-utilized. Proposes a focus on services as a development strategy. An emphasis on the improvement of employment opportunities and living standards of the members of society is recommended. The author favours an externally oriented economic strategy together with internal policies which increase the flexibility and adaptability of the economy. The targeting of specific high value, high quality products to niche markets is suggested. Marketing strategy should stress product differentiation and quality.
