CBI citizens form 1.8% of Grenada’s disapora population

Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment  scheme came into effect August 2013, when the Grenadian Parliament passed Act No. 15 of 2013.

 

Since the launch of the scheme, Grenada has granted little over 2000 investors under the CBI program according to the Ministry of Finance statistics

 

Grenada’s local population in 2018 is estimated at 108,339.  Since the start of the CBI until Dec 2018, Grenada has granted citizenship to 2,023 persons who invested in Grenada under CBI. This means CBI citizens only form 1.8% of Grenada’s diaspora population living outside the country.

 

With St Kitts, CBI citizens form one-third of diaspora population who live outside the country, considering the population of St Kitts is only half that of Grenada.
