## Resource

CARICOM leaders and business reps are rolling up their sleeves to slash the cost of living—by slashing imports, smoothing regional transport, and making everyday goods cheaper. A private ferry service is on the fast track, with regulations set for September 2026, while countries tackle trade barriers hand-in-hand with industry. Renewable energy is in the sights to cut fuel costs, and businesses are being asked to accept lower profits on essentials. Regional savings will fuel investments in clean energy and infrastructure, all backed by deadline-driven working groups—because this isn’t just talk: it’s about real relief for Caribbean families.
