This country’s Prime Minister said the government is working on building a rainy day fund, in the event of a natural disaster devastating the country.

 

In an interview with NBC News, Prime Minister Gonsalves said the fund is being built bit by bit.

 

Prime Minister Gonsalves said the fund is partially funded by the contingency fund – which is taken from the 1 percentage point added to the value added tax (VAT).
