The Friction
Four key things stand in the way.
The constraints are infrastructural: each one slows enterprise, investment and the region’s ability to scale digital services.
01
Payments run on detours
Restricted access to modern payment gateways blocks recurring billing, local settlement and growth for e-commerce and fintech.
02
Identity is verified many times over
Without shared eID and eKYC, each bank and wallet repeats onboarding and nothing interoperates across Grenada or the OECS.
03
Paper still governs
Business formation, licensing and procurement remain slow, siloed and difficult for the firms best placed to deliver.
04
Nowhere safe to test
Without regulatory sandboxes, local innovators build unguided or offshore while public trust fails to accumulate.
PROPOSED ROADMAP
Proposed roadmap from the Insights Brief
These are proposed initiatives, not completed outcomes.
