BASSETERRE, ST. Kitts – LAST week the Development Bank of St. Kitts and Nevis signed an agreement with the Centre for the Development of Enterprise, a European Union funded institution, that is expected to enhance the Bank’s ability to offer technical assistance to its small and medium sized enterprises (SME) clients.
The signing of the agreement came into effect last Thursday (Sept. 1), and is expected to remove one of the major hurdles that the island’s SMEs faced, such as a shortage of technical assistance, provision of accounting services or any other business related services or expertise.
