Saint Lucia's Economic Commission (ECTEL) held a workshop focused on market competition and impact assessment to strengthen regulatory capacity, per thelabourspokesman.com.

The European Union is pressuring Saint Lucia over its 'golden passport' program, which threatens to reduce the country's budget cushion, Bloomberg reports.

Local sports updates include the Saint Lucia Kings unveiling their 2026 overseas roster with new talent in spin and power, while St John’s coach La Force-Benton returns to lead the team, stluciatimes.com notes.
