Prime Minister Skerrit Works to Reduce Prices
One of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit’s central promises in his campaign was to reduce the cost of living in Dominica.
To this end, he recently met with representatives of the Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC) in Roseau to figure out ways that government and private sector can work together to reduce supermarket product costs.
While stating that he has no intention of interfering with the profit margins that the private sector achieves, Prime Minister Skerrit did request that the private sector “meet government at some point.”
As he said, “What we are saying is that you can look within your own pricing mechanism and see how we can reach the people of Dominica at some point, because let us be frank with ourselves, that some prices on the shelves are too expensive…. “
