In late January 2023, EU bureaucrats were busy staying at a luxurious Caribbean hotel.
During their stay, they lectured officials from five Caribbean nations hosting Citizenship By Investment (CBI) programs about how these programs should be managed.

Despite false logic, the writing on the wall is clear – the prices of the Caribbean CBI programs will likely go up.
