Saint Lucia

An island nation of 180,000 in the eastern Caribbean, where visitors earned almost nine tenths of export income in 2018 and the World Bank backs a sustainable recovery.

Perfect Nations values what Saint Lucia owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

01Assets · The cup · Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Saint Lucia toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.

  • 88.8%Of export earnings from visitors, 2018

    The Visitors

    Visitors already pay for the coast and the culture; their spending can finance what lasts.

  • 53.8%Of the land under forest, 2024

    The Forest

    Standing forest that stores carbon and water, and can earn as it stands.

  • 180,149Citizens, 2025

    The People

    17.2% are under fifteen: the workforce and the market of the next generation.

  • 2.4%Of GDP sent home by citizens abroad, 2025

    The Diaspora

    Citizens abroad send home a steady share of the economy: a flow that can back long-term finance.

  • 16.3%Of the land in agriculture, 2023

    The Farmland

    Land that can feed the nation and earn abroad, valued and financed against its harvest.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Saint Lucia. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

  • The Solution for Saint LuciaLivelihood

    Let local banks lend to the enterprises that hire.

    • 01The challenge25% Of Saint Lucians live below the national poverty line, on 2015 data. World Bank, 2015
    • 02The dealSmall-business credit guarantee, proved in Barbados, 2025: $50M up to 80% of each loan. Inter-American Development Bank, July 2025
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where livelihoods are furthest from reach should set up a facility that guarantees most of each small-business loan, so that local banks lend to the firms they would otherwise turn away. With super intelligence, lenders can assess firms that have no credit history, and every job each loan creates can be counted.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsSaint Lucia

Dear Saint Lucia,

Visitors earned almost nine tenths of your export income in 2018, half your land is forest, and water, power and clean fuel reach almost every home.

Yet on the 2015 data, one in four of you lived below the national poverty line. Let the income of every visitor season become a livelihood that lasts all year.

“Let every visitor season become a livelihood that lasts all year.”
