Government Allocation of Funds

Criteria to receive funding

Grenada’s Fiscal Responsibility Law (FRL) requires that 40 percent of NTF funds be placed in a contingency fund and be used for arrears payments, debt reduction, and contingency financing for disaster relief. In 2019, the government amended the NTF regulations to provide financial support for relief, recovery, and reconstruction after a natural disaster. Additionally, rules were set regarding the accumulation of resources in the fund, and governance and accountability arrangements were elaborated.

Breakdown of fund allocation

Grenada’s Finance Ministry publishes a report quarterly each year detailing the number of applications and funds received for the NTF under the CBI program and how the funds are spent. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2022, Grenada’s Treasury spent XCD 21,149,946 on capital projects. Funds are also used towards NTF operating expenses, budgetary support for the Treasury, financing various projects (such as improving infrastructure and education), and supporting industries including tourism, agriculture, and alternative energy.
