The Dominica Government uses its citizenship-by-investment program, launched in the 1990s, to fund climate-resilient infrastructure after devastating hurricanes. The program has become the country’s main revenue source by selling passports to wealthy foreigners, particularly from China and the Middle East.
These funds are directed towards housing and rebuilding projects for those displaced by natural disasters, helping the government avoid heavy debt. While the initiative faces scrutiny over security concerns, Dominica asserts it is vital for the nation’s climate resilience and economic self-reliance.
