On the publication of Budget Alert Volume 3, the Bain Sisters acknowledge the life and contribution of the veteran journalist, George Grant, to national development, and specifically the use of his broadcasting skills and medium to facilitate dialogue on the issues touching and concerning the citizens of Grenada.  \nFiscal Alert with the Bain Sisters – Laurel Bain, Gemma Bain-Thomas, and Dr. Janice Bain, used the platform of George Grant’s Grenada Broadcast to air a weekly programme which commenced in October 2019 and continued until March 2020. George facilitated the programme every Monday morning on his “Gudday Grenada”.  \nThe Bain’s Sisters are indebted to George Grant for the use of his platform; and for providing the opportunity and a forum to engage and educate the citizens of Grenada on economic and social issues.  \nIn Recognition of the late Sir K Dwight Venner and the late Ms. Alison Phills  \nwho shared the same birthday of 21st January and were nationals of St Vincent and the Grenadines.  \nThe late Sir K Dwight Venner, past Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), was a strong advocate for the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Economic Union, and a protector and defender of the strong and stable Eastern Caribbean (EC) Dollar. The late Ms. Alison Phills, who served as Libarian at the ECCB, provided support to the ECCB, and to the Governor on his request for quiet time to peruse the  \nliterature she ably sourced and stored in the library. To date, the strong and stable EC dollar is the visible symbol of an integrated OECS Economic Union.  \nAs we reflect on the movers and shakers of economic integration in the Caribbean, and the benefits and challenges of regional integration, the OECS Economic Union should be prominently featured. The 43 years of the OECS integration movement commenced in 1981 with the signing of the Treaty of Basseterre in St Kitts and Nevis. The late Maurice Bishop, the then Prime Minister of Grenada, was one of the signatories to the Treaty of Basseterre which provided for functional cooperation in critical areas such as statistics, tax administration and in the economic and social sectors among the nine countries of the OECS.  \nThe Treaty of Basseterre made provisions for institutions and organs of the OECS.
