COCI Congratulates and Recognizes Small Business Week <\/strong><\/p>

As it is recognized as the Small Business Week (May 3 \u2013 7, 2021), The management and staff of the St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce and Industry would like to take this opportunity to express a sincere thank you to all our Small Businesses for the resilience, confidence, and enthusiasm over the years and especially in recent times given the impact of COVID-19 on the global front and more so the economy of St. Maarten.<\/p>

Considering we are facing unique challenges together; Small Businesses on St. Maarten still comprises for 85 percent of the business sector and continue to play a central role in building a strong country and preparing for any obstacles in the future. Hence, their contribution to our economic development should not go unnoticed.<\/p>

COCI\u2019s recent published synopsis on the current trend within the business sector of St. Maarten of the business sector is that of a positive business outlook on the island for 2021, given the surplus of new small businesses being established compared to closures.
