The Chamber, during the last year, continued to be guided by the plans mapped out for Year 2 of the Second Cycle (2019-2021) of the Strategic Transformation Process. As could be expected this was severely affected by the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the ensuing scale back of non-essential commercial and social activity to facilitate the slowing of the spread of the virus on island, to allow Government to prepare health and other national facilities. This led to the Secretariat pivoting to work from home to continue to meet the urgent needs of the membership and play its definitive role as the voice of the St. Lucia Private Sector

It has been nine months since St. Lucia had to institute COVID-19 protection measures where a twenty four hour curfew was instituted and borders shut. From April 2020 there has been a deliberate recommencement of economic and social activity moving towards a controlled co-existence of life and economic activity in a Covid-19 environment. In July the country was reopened to tourism.
The St. Lucia Chamber is continuing its longitudinal assessment of the impact of Covid-19 on its members. The information gleaned places us in a more informed position to advise government and influence Government economic recovery policy. The Survey results also permit us to tailor our services to meet the needs of members. This COVID-Impact Survey survey COVID reviews the last three months, October to December 2020.
The survey will take no more than 10 minutes and is extremely important if we are to remain relevant and responsive to the changing environment in which we will have to operate. The survey can be completed anonymously through constant contact via the below link.
