As Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of Government prepare to receive an overview on the CARICOM Single Market and Economic (CSME),  Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque stated that it remained the only workable option for economic growth.

Our Member States remain resolute that it is the only viable option for sustained economic growth. While we have made progress, there is no denying that we could have been further ahead, although challenges remain in some areas. We must do what is required to move the process forward,” the Secretary-General said at the Opening Ceremony of the Thirty-Seventh Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM at the National Cultural Centre, Georgetown, Guyana

The CSME is a key agenda item the Heads of Government will consider when they hold discussions Tuesday and Wednesday at the Pegasus Hotel in Georgetown.
