A little pink, a lot of heart.

Ahead of the Ministry of Finance’s official Pink Day on October 30, 2026, members of our team, particularly colleagues from the Budget Unit, Corporate Communications Unit and Macro-Policy Unit, wore pink today in solidarity with those living with breast cancer.

Together, we stand with those facing breast cancer, celebrate survivors and remember those we have lost.

MINISTRY OF FINANCE CONFIRMS TWO VAT-FREE DAYS AT THE END OF OCTOBER

St. George’s, Grenada, October 14, 2026: As part of its ongoing commitment to easing household financial pressures, the Government of Grenada, through the Ministry of Finance, confirms that Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, 2026, will be designated as official VAT-Free Days across the state of Grenada, Carriacou & Petite Martinique.

This marks the execution of the final two days of the government’s six-day VAT-Free initiative under the broader Cost-of-Living Assistance Programme, which was introduced to help families manage rising household expenses while supporting economic activity throughout the tri-island state. Under the Programme, the Government has increased and expanded the electricity subsidy to $50 for users of 200kWh or less, removed Value Added Tax (VAT) on electricity bills for consumers and business operators, and removed the Customs Service Charge on diesel used for electricity generation.

Following strong public participation during the first four VAT-Free Days, the Ministry of Finance expects consumers and businesses alike to benefit from increased purchasing activity during the October weekend.

"Along with the measures that reduce the rising cost of energy, plus the caps on fuel prices, these VAT-Free Days reflect the Government's continued commitment to delivering practical relief to citizens while supporting our local business community," said Mike Sylvester, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance. "With the standing orders expected to be published in this week’s gazette, we encourage households to begin preparing early so they can responsibly make the most of this opportunity."

Details on qualifying items, eligible businesses, and applicable conditions are available through the Ministry of Finance’s website finance.gd, and social media platforms. The Ministry encourages consumers to plan purchases in advance, establish spending priorities, and consult official guidance before shopping.

The Government of Grenada remains committed to implementing targeted measures that provide meaningful support to households while fostering economic activity. by @financegrenada
