The Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC) is deeply concerned about the critical situation in Dominica with the shortage of fuel.

This gas shortage continues to be a major issue facing our Members, the Private Sector, and the island, in general. We are witnessing the impact caused by this gas disruption with ripple effects across our supply chains. This is reflected in the slowdown and potential crippling of our businesses as they are unable to conduct business as is customary at this critical and important revenue generating season. Moreover, this has impacted the general public’s ability in many ways inclusive of critical activities such as accessing health and other essential services.

DAIC urges the Government and distributors to continue to keep the lines of communication open to ensure that the public is aware of any changes in real time. Businesses make decisions about their operations and their employees based on information available. DAIC encourages the public to listen to official updates provided by the state.

DAIC remains invested in facilitating serious discussions with the key stakeholders, including the wholesalers and the Government with the aim of reaching both short term and long-term solutions to the current challenges.
