In-Country Consultations on the Establishment of a Regional Regulator for Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CBI/CIP) Set to Commence

The Interim Regulatory Commission (IRC) is set to launch in-country consultations to engage stakeholders on the establishment of a Regional Regulator for Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CBI/CIP). 

The consultations will commence on 4 March 2025 with Saint Christopher (St Kitts) and Nevis. 

The consultations will seek to engage a broad and inclusive set of stakeholders.

  Representatives from the Government, the CIP/CBI industry, the media and social partners will be invited to participate in a series of discussions around the regional efforts to strengthen the transparency, accountability and integrity of the CIP/CBI Programmes. 

At the engagements, Legal Drafting Consultant, Ms Lydia Elliott, will present her work towards the development of the enabling legislative framework for the establishment of the Regional Regulator.

Participants would then have an opportunity to engage Ms Elliott on this work.  They would also be able to engage members of the IRC present, who will support Ms Elliott on the consultations. 

The full consultation schedule is presented below.
