Gregor Nassief–Roosevelt Skerrit dispute escalates over CBI concerns, government responses and economic policy

Businessman Gregor Nassief has intensified his public criticism of Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme, sparking a direct dispute with Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. Nassief argues that his concerns about the CBI system and other government policies have not been adequately addressed.

The disagreement centers on whether the government has responded to Nassief’s requests for reform and transparency in the CBI Programme. Nassief has highlighted issues such as the vetting process for investors and the allocation of CBI revenues, claiming that the programme’s benefits have not been fully realized by the country.

Prime Minister Skerrit has maintained that the CBI Programme remains a vital source of revenue for Dominica and that the government continues to monitor and improve its operations. He has stated that any concerns raised by Nassief are being considered within the broader context of national economic policy.

The dispute has drawn attention to the broader debate over the role of the CBI Programme in Dominica’s economy and the need for greater oversight and accountability. It also reflects ongoing discussions about the country’s economic strategy and the balance between attracting foreign investment and safeguarding national interests.
