- Caricom Needs to Cultivate New Eu Members
Caricom is a 15-nation grouping of mostly former British colonies, 12 of which participate in the free trade agreement. [Rudy Insanally] argued that Caricom's leanings are mostly confined to countries like Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, which owned colonies in the region, but it needs to pick up and build on probing interest shown by some of the newer EU members. France and Britain still own countries in the Caribbean. Caricom has argued for special soft loans from agencies like the World Bank because it is located in a region prone to natural disasters like hurricanes that force countries to rebuild infrastructure almost every year after being hit by storms.

- Caricom Free Trade Delays Frustrate Canada
There's a lot of members of CARICOM, and there's a lot of different interests," Canada's International Trade Minister, David Emerison, said last Saturday. "So that's going to take some time. "Trade relationships are about more than dollars and cents," she added. 'They're also about forging ties of friendship among nations, and about giving citizens the opportunity to create wealth, prosperity and better lives - not only for themselves and their families, but for their nations as well," Guergis continued. [Evadne Coye], Jamaica's high commissioner to Ottawa, said Canadian officials have "raised some concerns about the delay in the start-up of those negotiations," but that CARICOM members have a number of issues they have to wrap up before moving ahead.

- Chavez's Influence Increasing Across Latin America
WASHINGTON -- Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has never been coy about his imperial plans. What started as the Cuba-Venezuela axis now includes Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua and the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Dominica. They all belong to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas, or ALBA. Argentina and Paraguay often cooperate with the group. El Salvador's governing party answers directly to Chavez. The fact that moderate left-wing governments lend international support to Caracas and that center-right leaders tread carefully for fear of domestic consequences allows the Venezuelan autocrat significant latitude. Using Petrocaribe, a mechanism for providing subsidized oil to 13 members of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) plus Cuba and Guatemala,

- Macroeconomic Determinants of Migrant Remittances to Caribbean Countries: Panel Unit Roots and Cointegration
This article examines the macroeconomic factors influencing the flow of remittances to selected English-speaking Caribbean countries. A balanced two way fixed effects (FE) model, a random effects (RE) model and the adjusted fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) model (designed to correct biases in OLS)are employed in estimating a relationship between per capita remittances and selected macroeconomic variables. This article also examines the time series properties of the data within a panel unit root and cointegration framework and in this respect, adds an important new dimension to the time series models on remittances by removing the possibility of a spurious relationship (Pedroni 1995,1997, 2000). The results strongly suggest that there is cointegration among the variables, an...
