The Curaçao Business Association (VBC) applauds Cijntje’s decision. According to VBC, the postponement gives the government the opportunity to look further at alternatives. “It is important to involve the private sector in these kinds of decisions with far-reaching consequences,” the organization said. “In an open dialogue, solutions can then be sought without the judge being involved.”

According to VBC, there is understanding that the government wants to take measures to prevent further price increases, but these must be effective actions that are also widely supported. The current adjustments for the basic basket will not have the desired effect, according to VBC.
