Last update: 6 hours ago

Fuel Prices Cut in Montserrat: The Office of the Premier says new lower wholesale and retail rates take effect immediately (July 11, 2026), with diesel down from EC$19.60 to EC$16.30 per gallon and retail diesel from EC$21.00 to EC$17.70; premium gasoline retail falls from EC$23.12 to EC$20.87, as government cites cost-of-living relief. ECCB Monetary Council & Banknotes: The ECCB’s 113th Monetary Council meeting (July 10, chaired by Dominica’s Finance Minister Dr Irving McIntyre) reaffirmed EC dollar stability, while new Eastern Caribbean banknote designs were unveiled on July 9, removing the Queen Elizabeth II likeness and shifting to national heroes and regional icons. Chevening Scholarships: Three Montserratians—Alverna Weekes, Denecia Furlonge, and Dr Georgette Skerritt—win Chevening 2026/27 awards for master’s study in the UK, with plans to return and support island priorities. CARICOM Reparations Push: The Caricom Reparations Commission is pressing the UK and UN with a revised manifesto that now includes British Overseas Territories, with Montserrat highlighted as a full member in the region’s wider decolonisation agenda. Regional Tax Talks: CARICOM and COTA will convene in Georgetown, Guyana (July 27–31) on “Future-Ready” tax administration, focusing on smart, data-driven and AI-enabled revenue systems. Travel Access Update: A Henley Passport Index update says Nigerians can access 44 destinations without a pre-arrival visa, including Montserrat, alongside Barbados and Seychelles. Cyber Fraud Warning: A Montserrat Bankers Association official warns of “mulling” scams using social media job offers to recruit people into fraud by routing stolen funds through their accounts.
