St. George’s, December 1, 2025 – Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited, in partnership with Investment Migration Agency (IMA) Grenada, successfully staged the 2025 Investment Migration Round Table (IMRT) Conference on November 13th at the Radisson Crown Ballroom. The one-day conference, now in its sixth year, is an annual forum to develop and refine Grenada’s strategy and framework for positioning and strengthening investment migration as a thriving and sustainable sector of Grenada’s economy.
This year’s edition of the conference themed Adapt. Evolve. Sustain, explored how Grenada’s investment migration programme can succeed amidst increased regulations and external pressures. In his keynote address, H.E. Calvin St. Juste, Executive Chairman of the Board of Governors for St. Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Unit, shared lessons that Grenada can learn from St. Kitts and Nevis, the birthplace of the modern CBI programme, to position investment migration as a catalyst for positive and powerful national development. The panel discussions looked at CBI as a foreign direct investment source of revenue for Grenada, leveraging the investment migration diaspora to support national development, and the key considerations for developing local investors in the investment migration industry.
The round table component of the conference provided delegates with the opportunity to provide direct feedback to enhance and improve Grenada’s investment migration programme. This year, delegates shared actionable suggestions related to channeling CBI revenue into national development, tapping into the CBI diaspora, addressing challenges experienced within the CBI programme, and attracting and supporting local Grenadian involvement in the CBI economy.
Mr. Willvorn Grainger, Chief Experience Officer at Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited, explained why the Bank continues to support the IMRT Conference. “We firmly believe that by bringing together key stakeholders through this forum, we can strengthen collaboration, exchange valuable insights, make informed recommendations and continue to shape a sector that delivers tangible and lasting benefits for Grenada,” he noted. “Witnessing the programme’s ongoing progress is a powerful reminder of how far our shared mission has come. What has emerged from the conversations is clear that we have a responsibility and the opportunity to redefine investment migration as a transformative tool for national resilience and sustainable development.”
Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited, as the nation’s only indigenous bank, continues to champion programmes that empower Grenada’s economy to thrive.
