‘VI’s economic diversification cannot be postponed’- Premier’s 2021 Message
“2020 has reminded us in a very powerful way that diversification is something we can no longer postpone,” the Leader of Government Business said in his 2021 message to the people of the territory.
2020 an unforgettable year - Premier
According to Premier Fahie, “Increasing the resilience of the BVI economy, by—among other measures—diversifying our footprint and developing new industry opportunities, is a major priority for your Government as we head into 2021.”
Calling 2020 a year that will be difficult to forget, the Premier said it brought many unprecedented challenges beginning with the COVID-19 global pandemic, which spiralled into an economic crisis.
“Globally, economies were hit very hard as the inter-relatedness of routine daily activities and interdependency of countries and markets became ever more apparent. Things we are accustomed to taking for granted became luxuries overnight.”
On the positive end, he said is that the disruptions from the pandemic, allowed the VI to improve its use of technology for work and school.
“Many tech novices are now pros. Some of the measures that increase the efficiency of doing business will no doubt be retained.”
2021 a year to explore economic opportunities
The Leader of Government said in 2021, however, the territory will continue to remain on its ‘BVI Strong’ path, given its success at managing the pandemic and the growth that came as a result.
“Our awareness of the capabilities that we have displayed over the last year and how much we have grown as individuals and as a people, along with the prospects for economic opportunities and improved quality of life as expressed in the 2021 Budget, are reasons for us to keep hope alive and for us to keep pushing forward with optimism,” Premier Fahie noted.

The elite are laughing at us on how easy it is for them to control the world when the world believes everything they say like going to slaughter.
Even the Aborigines in the middle of the outback desert in Australia are believing the BS
