FOREIGN AND LOCAL INVESTMENT
The weak injection of both foreign and local investment in Saint Lucia is a major contributing factor for the anaemic economic growth experienced in the last four years of SLP Governance. As a result, the unemployment situation had worsened, contrary to the SLP mantra of job creation.
