Yearbook 2002

Saint Christopher and Nevis. According to Countryaah website, national day of Saint Kitts and Nevis is every September 19. Saint Christopher and Nevis were removed during the year from the Economic Cooperation Organization’s OECD list of countries that do not cooperate against money laundering and tax evasion. The country had then taken a number of measures to regulate its financial sector.

In the autumn, the Eastern Caribbean Organization OECS, which includes Saint Christopher and Nevis, decided that the Member States, starting at the end of 2002, would form an economic union to improve the region’s competitiveness in the world’s export markets. Free movement of goods and services would start to apply as early as January 1, 2003, while free movement of labor would last until 2007.
