The formal proceedings for Saint Lucia’s 2026/27 Budget presentation will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the Throne Speech to be delivered by His Excellency Felix Finisterre, Deputy to the Governor General of Saint Lucia.
At $2.18 billion, the Government’s 2026/27 Budget is the largest in Saint Lucia’s history and stands as another major step in the Pierre Administration’s drive to expand opportunity, strengthen communities and keep national development moving in the right direction.
Crafted by Prime Minister Pierre in close consultation with the Cabinet of Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Heads of Departments and senior public officers, this budget is rooted in a simple but decisive principle: the people of Saint Lucia must feel the benefits of growth.
This is not a budget designed to look good on paper. It is a budget designed to work for the people, to lift the vulnerable, support those ready to advance, and ensure that no citizen and no community is pushed to the margins of national development.
From community development initiatives to critical capital projects, the Pierre Administration’s 2026/27 Budget will build on the progress already made and create new openings for growth, investment and job creation across the productive sectors.
Prime Minister Pierre has made it clear that development cannot be an abstract idea discussed from a distance. It must reach families. It must touch communities. It must improve lives. That belief continues to shape the Government’s policy direction and public investment strategy.
As Saint Lucia looks ahead, this Budget will set out a clear path for sustained progress, one that places people first, spreads opportunity more widely and deepens the gains being made across the country.
The Prime Minister’s Budget Address will be broadcast live on the National Television Network (NTN), Saint Lucia FM (97.3 FM), and participating radio and television stations from 5:00 p.m.
The debate on the Appropriations Bill will follow on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. Every duly elected Member of Parliament is expected to contribute and will be accorded the full entitlements provided under the Standing Orders of the House of Assembly.
The Government invites all Saint Lucians to tune in as Prime Minister Pierre outlines a budget that speaks to the needs of the people, responds to the demands of the moment and charts the next phase of Saint Lucia’s development.
