More American citizens are trying to migrate to these Caribbean islands this year. Here's how to join them
Americans are racing to take advantage of Caribbean nations offering citizenship by investment schemes, programs that grant citizenship to overseas investors willing to put six-figure investments into their new home countries. "Up to 70% of all buyers right now are wanting citizenship, and the vast majority are from the US," Nadia Dyson, a realtor in Antigua, told the BBC. "We don't talk politics with them, but the unstable political landscape [in the US] is definitely a time last year, it was all lifestyle buyers and a few CBI. Now they're all saying 'I want a house with citizenship'. We've never sold so many before." Lawyers in the U.S. faced a similar deluge of calls about the programs during the 2024 election of Donald Trump, according to the American Bar Association. 'In general, it comes in uncertain times,' Betina Schlossberg, an attorney at Schlossberg Legal, told a 2024 ABA report. 'We never thought of people just running away from the United States. All of a sudden, people feel uneasy, and they want to be ready.' The investment consultancy Henley & Partners has clocked a similar trend, noting the majority of applications for such programs came from U.S. citizens over the last year, part of a general surge in interest that saw applications to these schemes increase 12 percent overall. A variety of Caribbean nations offer such programs, including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. Dominica's program has the lowest door to investment of the group, at $200,000, while St. Kitts and Nevis has the highest barrier, at $250,000. Many of the programs also confer wider visa benefits. Investors in Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, and St. Lucia get travel access to Europe's Schengen Area. The programs have attracted a measure of controversy on the islands themselves, as well as from the governments of the U.S. and Europe, which have expressed concern that the investments could be used to avoid taxes or shield financial crimes. Nonetheless, their defenders point to success stories like Dominica's initiative raising more than $1 billion, or Antigua's program helping the country avoid bankruptcy. Similarly situated European nations — ones with equally desirable locations, with economies heavily dependent on tourism — also offer 'golden passport' schemes, including Italy, Greece, and Portugal, each with investment floors of about $250,000.

Developer proposes a 'more-nuanced approach' to foreign investment in B.C. housing
After the federal and provincial governments rebuffed a call from several B.C. developers to allow foreign investment back in housing, another real estate leader is proposing a middle-ground: enable offshore investment, but 'with a handcuff' and an aim to produce rental homes. 'If we're inviting foreign money back into the market, I would recommend that it comes with a bit of a handcuff, and that would be a requirement to enter the rental pool for five years,' Townline Homes CEO Rick Ilich said Friday. Townline, he said, proposes allowing foreign buyers into the market, but 'under regulated conditions that require their units be rented out through a professionally managed rental program for the first five years of ownership or the first five years after project completion.' Ilich had declined to add his name to a recent letter that was signed by dozens of leading figures in B.C.'s real estate sector, lobbying Ottawa and Victoria for policy changes to encourage more foreign purchases of local homes to boost a struggling construction industry and ensure a steady future pipeline of housing. 'I don't want to say it was a mistake,' Ilich said of the request from his fellow developers. 'But it does misread public opinion.' The coalition's letter, which was sent Tuesday, asked the governments of B.C. and Canada to reconsider the federal temporary ban on foreign purchases of residential real estate and the provincial tax on foreign buyers. The coalition urged the federal government to look at Australia, which prohibits foreigners from buying existing homes, but allows them to buy new builds and presales. The federal Housing Department responded with a statement suggesting such changes were not in the cards. Provincial leaders were even more blunt, with Premier David Eby saying he's glad the old model of foreign-funded speculative development is dead. 'In fairness to the existing government, they took a position which is popular,' Ilich said Friday. 'But we are not going to hit the prescribed housing targets … if we don't get creative with finding other means of having capital enter the market, because there's simply not enough capital interested in real estate in Canada right now — so invite it back, but use it as a catalyst to expedite rental.' Ilich is working on a proposal he plans to present to provincial and federal government leaders. He provided with Postmedia a version of the letter, which says that while he and his colleagues at Townline understand the concerns and motivations behind the other developers' request earlier this week, they would advocate a 'more-nuanced' approach. 'Many factors drove housing prices beyond reach for both renters and owners — unrestricted access to our market by foreign investors was one of those contributing factors,' Townline's draft letter says. 'Today, the foreign buyer ban has swung the pendulum too far, at a time when the housing industry needs to attract diverse and broad forms of investment — both local and non-domestic — to meet our long-term housing needs.' Ilich argues that his proposed program could free up capital for developers to build more housing, increase rental supply for local residents, prevent empty homes, and 'discourage quick resale for profit.' Ilich chairs the Urban Developer Institute, but emphasized he is floating this idea on behalf of he and his company, not for the industry association. He proposes allowing foreigners to buy both presale condos and unsold condos currently under construction or recently completed. 'This is not about bailing out developers. It's about freeing up capital for a purpose, to produce housing,' he said. The coalition's Tuesday letter cited an estimate that only one per cent of Canadian homes were owned by non-residents. But the proportion of foreign ownership appears to be dramatically higher in certain segments of the market, according to a new analysis by Andy Yan, an associate professor of professional practice in urban studies at Simon Fraser University. A Statistics Canada report released this week showed that 4.8 per cent of all residential properties in British Columbia were owned by at least one non-resident of Canada, Yan said, but when looking only at newly built condos that rises to 14.8 per cent in Vancouver, 12.6 per cent in Burnaby, and 15.1 per cent in Richmond. It seems likely that those levels of foreign ownership could put upward pressure on prices, Yan said. 'The question for the federal government is whether it would like to continue on with a game that has created some winners and many losers, or actually create a housing system that houses all Canadians. … Do we want to extend and pretend? Or change and adapt?' It remains to be seen whether governments — and the voters who elect them — might be open to encouraging some type of foreign investment in real estate, with certain restrictions. While Eby's response to the coalition's letter earlier this week made clear he is not interested in 'going back' to the days of wild speculation and empty condos, he seemed to leave the door open to some kind of role for international investment. Citing the cautionary tale of a downtown Vancouver condo project that was fuelled by foreign money and is now facing receivership, Eby said 'that model is dead.' However, Eby also said: 'If foreign capital can help build housing for Canadians and British Columbians, great.' Asked Friday about Townline's proposal, a B.C. Housing Ministry spokesperson sent an emailed statement that said that the province recognizes the 'the urgent need to increase housing supply throughout B.C. so we can continue to see rents fall and vacancy rates rise.' 'While we will not return to previous policies and approaches that don't help people find the housing they need, we are open to exploring new opportunities that support the development of more rental homes — particularly those that meet long-term needs of the community,' the ministry said. 'We are also mindful of the federal government's ban on foreign home ownership, but we remain open to engaging with industry experts to find a balanced approach where we can leverage investments and deliver more homes for people.' dfumano@ Related 'That model is dead': B.C.

Stocks to watch next week: BP, Diageo, Disney, Uber and WPP
This week several key companies are set to release earnings, giving markets some insight into their performance and future prospects. BP (BP.L) will report its second-quarter results on Tuesday, with analysts expecting earnings of $1.35 per share and $60bn (£45.2bn) in revenue. Investors will focus on the company's oil and gas output, capital expenditure plans, and any updates regarding its transition to cleaner energy sources. Diageo (DGE.L) is set to release its full-year results also on Tuesday, with expectations for continued growth driven by strong demand for its premium spirits. Investors will be focused on the company's sales trends in key markets like the US and China, as well as any updates on its acquisitions and sustainability initiatives. Walt Disney (DIS) will release its results on Wednesday, with attention on its media networks, theme parks, and streaming services. Analysts expect earnings of $1.47 per share and $23.7bn in revenue, and investors will be watching for updates on subscriber growth for Disney+ and the recovery of its parks business. Uber Technologies (UBER) will also report its second-quarter results on Wednesday, with analysts projecting earnings of $0.62 per share and $12.46 bn in revenue. The stock's performance will hinge on how well Uber can continue to grow its ride-hailing and food delivery services, as well as how management addresses rising competition and regulatory challenges. WPP (WPP.L) will report its second-quarter results on Thursday, with attention on the strength of its advertising business amid economic challenges. Analysts will be looking for insights into performance across its global markets and any potential impact from shifting marketing budgets. Here's more on what to look out for: BP (BP.L) — releases second-quarter results on Tuesday 5 August BP's (BP.L) second-quarter update comes at a challenging time for the oil major, as it faces declining oil and gas prices. The company has yet to deliver a meaningful boost to shareholder returns since its strategy shift, and activist investor Elliott has raised concerns over its lagging performance. First-quarter results showed weak cash flow and pressure on its refining margins, with the second-quarter numbers expected to be similarly muted. Analysts predict a pre-tax profit of $4.6bn, up from $4.2bn in Q1 but still below the $6bn levels BP enjoyed in the past. The company's cash flow, especially with rising net debt, remains a key issue, with net debt forecast to stand at $24.9bn by Q1 2025. "BP (BP.L) is under significant pressure, especially with oil and gas prices continuing to slide and its renewable transition struggling to gain momentum," Russ Mould, AJ Bell investment director, Danni Hewson, AJ Bell head of financial analysis and Dan Coatsworth, AJ Bell investment analyst, wrote. "The company's cash flow and its rising debt will be top of mind for investors, and any plans to offload underperforming assets, like Castrol, will be crucial in reducing debt and stabilising the company's balance sheet." Read more: Defence companies post strong results as UK investors back the sector over AI In the face of weaker refining results and less volatility in trading operations, shareholders are looking to the company's management for insights into the future of its asset disposal programme, particularly concerning its underperforming Castrol unit. "BP's (BP.L) transition strategy, while well-intentioned, has yet to show the kind of returns investors were hoping for," AJ Bell added. "This second-quarter report will be critical in signalling whether BP is capable of improving its cash flow and reducing its debt burden while staying on course for its long-term energy transition." Investors will also be keen to know more about the rumour that rival Shell (SHEL.L) was in talks to buy the oil major. Both companies have denied the possibility of a merger but markets still believe BP (BP.L) to be a firm takeover target. "The fact rumours keep circulating might suggest there is some truth in the matter, be it Shell or someone else looking to buy the UK oil and gas producer," Dan Coatsworth, an investment analyst at AJ Bell, said. 'Shell says it hasn't been actively considering an offer, but that doesn't mean it won't do so in the future.' BP (BP.L) was once valued at more than £140bn but is currently valued at £57bn. Its relatively cheap valuation compared to its peers makes it a firm takeover target for larger companies in the oil and gas sector. It has lost almost a quarter of its value over the last two years, while its competitors in Europe and the US have managed to grow and rake in record profits. Diageo (DGE.L) — releases full-year results on Tuesday 5 August Shares in Diageo (DGE.L), which have fallen nearly 25% in 2025, remain at levels not seen since 2016. The drinks giant, home to key brands like Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, and Guinness, has struggled with several pressures. These include shifting drinking habits, particularly among younger consumers who are turning away from alcohol, and the impact of inflation, which has pushed many to opt for cheaper alternatives. Adding to concerns, Diageo's (DGE.L) CEO, Debra Crew, recently resigned, casting further doubt on the company's performance. Despite these challenges, management has maintained its previous guidance, which will serve as a benchmark for the upcoming figures. Interim CEO and CFO, Nik Jhangiani, will present the results for the year ending June, where analysts expect a modest 1.4% organic sales growth to $20.2bn, with operating profits projected to drop slightly to $5.7bn. "Diageo's struggle with evolving consumer habits and inflationary pressures is reflected in its underperformance this year," AJ Bell analysts said. "The resignation of CEO Debra Crew adds uncertainty, but the company's guidance remains a critical point for comparison, and investors will be looking for concrete actions on debt and operational restructuring." Regional performance will be a key area of focus, particularly in Latin America, where the company has continued to struggle. Investors will also be watching for updates on the company's Accelerate turnaround programme and any news regarding its $20bn net debt, which could signal future asset sales. "Management will need to address its debt pile more proactively if it intends to stem the tide of negative sentiment around its long-term strategy," according to Mould, Coatsworth and Hewson. Analysts expect a modest increase in Diageo's (DGE.L) dividend, from $1.0348 last year to $1.037 per share, though this may be offset by the stronger US dollar. No share buybacks are currently in place, and Diageo's cash flow and debt reduction plans will be scrutinised, AJ Bell wrote. Walt Disney (DIS) — Reports second-quarter earnings on Wednesday 6 August Walt Disney (DIS) is set to report its earnings for the quarter ended June 2025 on 6 August, and analysts are generally optimistic. The company is expected to see a year-over-year increase in earnings, driven by higher revenues. The consensus from Zachs Equity Research suggests that Disney will post earnings of $1.47 per share, which would represent a 5.8% year-over-year increase. Revenues are projected to be $23.7bn, a 2.4% rise compared to the same quarter last year. These expectations suggest steady growth, but how the actual results stack up against these estimates could have a significant impact on Disney's stock price in the short term, analysts warned. Disney's (DIS) stock could experience an upward move if the company reports earnings that exceed analyst expectations. A strong beat on key metrics could signal strength in its core businesses, such as theme parks and streaming services, which investors will be closely watching. Read more: The 'cheapest' stocks on FTSE 100 as UK blue-chip index trades at record high However, if Disney (DIS) misses earnings expectations, particularly in its critical media and entertainment divisions, the stock may react negatively. The company's long-term outlook will also depend on its ability to navigate ongoing challenges in the streaming market and its response to changing consumer trends. Disney's performance in Q2 2025 will be closely scrutinised for signs of continued revenue growth, especially in its streaming platforms like Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. Analysts will be keen to understand if the company's is able to balance its traditional media business with new-age streaming modes. Uber (UBER) — Reports second-quarter earnings on Wednesday 6 August Wall Street is anticipating a year-over-year increase in earnings for Uber Technologies (UBER) when the company reports its Q2 2025 results. The consensus outlook suggests higher revenues and stronger earnings growth, but how Uber's actual results compare to these expectations will play a major role in determining the stock's short-term price movement. The Zacks Consensus Estimate expects Uber to post earnings of $0.62 per share, marking a 31.9% increase from the same period last year. Additionally, revenues are projected to reach $12.46bn, up 16.4% year-over-year. Uber (UBER) has consistently beaten earnings estimates in recent quarters, which increases the probability of a strong performance in Q2 2025. In the most recent quarter, Uber was expected to report $0.51 per share, but it actually posted $0.83, delivering a +62.75% earnings surprise. This marks four consecutive earnings beats for the company. WPP (WPP.L) — reports half-year results Thursday 7 August WPP (WPP.L) is facing a challenging year. With shares down nearly 50% in 2025, and currently at a 16-year low, the advertising and media giant has been rocked by a profit warning issued in June. Analysts are concerned about the firm's ability to adapt to the rapidly changing industry landscape, including the growing influence of AI and changing client demands. WPP (WPP.L) has already acknowledged losing key accounts and signalled ongoing weakness in China, while macroeconomic conditions have dampened demand for big-ticket ad campaigns. The company has lowered its full-year guidance, expecting a decline in like-for-like sales of 3-5% for 2025. In response, the board has fast-tracked a CEO succession plan, with Cindy Rose set to take the helm from Mark Read on 1 September. Read more: London IPO fundraising slumps in blow to UK Operating profit for the first half is expected to be between £400m and £425m, down from prior expectations. Analysts are also eyeing WPP's decision on its dividend. After a 15p interim payout last year and a total of 39.4p for 2024, a dividend cut is now considered a possibility. WPP (WPP.L) last ran a share buyback in 2022. "WPP is facing both cyclical and structural headwinds, from reduced campaign spend to the disruptive effects of AI," said AJ Bell. "The new leadership, with Cindy Rose stepping in next month, will need to act decisively to reverse the company's fortunes, or investors will likely see further deterioration in the share price."
