Minister of Finance Hon. Camillo Gonsalves while speaking at the PRYME event last week, revealed that over 1500 person have applied to grants under the PRYME program.

When speaking to the second batch of PRYME grant recipients the minister said that the Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines was providing them with the opportunity to “fly with wings unclipped”.

“…Unclipped by debt. Give you a grant, trust your hard work, your entrepreneurial spirit, your desire to succeed and know that you not paying back a loan, but you will pay us back many times over by the success of your business, by the money you inject into our economy, by the people you hire, by the other things you buy from other suppliers. You are an economic engine in St Vincent and the Grenadines,” Gonsalves said.

Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves also attended the event on Tuesday where he said that economies depend a great deal on small businesses. He urged the latest batch of grant recipients to remain focused and be serious businessmen and women.
