Citizenship by Investment: Negotiating the Caribbean's Next Move | Leo "Titus" Preville

The EU is closing in on Caribbean Citizenship by Investment— and one of the Region's biggest sources of development finance is on the line. Also a Belize bill could put podcasters and streamers under government license — two stories reshaping the Region's economy and its media, both in this episode. As international scrutiny intensifies and the EU advances its review of Caribbean CBI programmes, the debate has moved past defending what exists. The real question now: how does the Caribbean negotiate from a position of strength instead of reacting to headlines? Former CARICOM Single Market Director Leo "Titus" Preville joins host and economist Joseph Cox with a practical framework for how governments can protect their economic interests while strengthening credibility on the world stage. Also this week: Belize's proposed Broadcasting Bill has ignited one of the Region's biggest debates on digital media. Are governments really trying to license podcasters, streamers and online creators — or is something bigger happening to press freedom and digital regulation in the Caribbean? Plus — sovereign credit ratings, fiscal performance, tourism, regional banking, digital currencies, trade policy, energy markets, and the global economic outlook. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Caribbean Business Review 02:32 Opening Comments | The New Round of US Tariffs – Caribbean Impact? 04:48 This Week's Headlines 05:19 CBR Briefing | The Belize Broadcasting Bill: Social Media Under Threat? 11:22 Market Brief | 90 Seconds 13:32 Citizenship by Investment: What’s the Caribbean’s Next Move?
