Grenada CIP’s Revival After a Short Slowdown
The investors’ interest in Grenada’s CIP is increasing quickly. During the third quarter of 2019, 111 applications were received under Grenada’s citizenship by investment scheme, a 63% increase on Q2.
This CIP program is getting more popular, while due to an internal change, the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) has almost stopped evaluating applications. During Q3, Only 22 of the requests have been processed.
In August and September, the processing rates reached an incomprehensive low level; the CIU processed only two applications per month. Of course there is nothing to worry about! The reason for this halt in processing is the recent changing of the CEO of the Citizenship by Investment Unit.
Meet investors’ expectations
The good news is that the delays are but a temporary effect of the recent transition in CIU management, and they have already returned to normal work with renewed vigor. In the last three weeks, 27 applications have been approved. The CIU is completing processing within the 60 days’ timeline mandated by law.
Meanwhile, a new Investment project has been introduced in Grenada, the Six Senses resort which will employ 500 workers during construction, and a similar number once operational.
The program is extremely important for Grenada because the more files they process, the more revenue they bring to the country, the more employment they enable, the more infrastructure and hospitals they make possible and the more social stability and growth they have. By the end of September, the program had raised a total of EC$95 million in investments, contributions, and fees.
