Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit announced that the 2024-2025 National Budget address will be presented on July 26, 2024, by Minister for Finance, Economic Development, Climate Resilience, and Social Security, Dr. Irving McIntyre. The budget is expected to be people-centered, focusing on the development of citizens and the country, and addressing the current global economic realities.

Despite global challenges, the administration aims to consolidate past developments and outline measures to stimulate economic growth and efficiency further.
Prime Minister Skerrit expressed confidence that the budget will benefit every citizen, incorporating recommendations from recent consultations. The budget presentation comes as Dominica continues its efforts to build climate resilience and advocate for comprehensive climate financing reform.
