Government Priorities 2026-2028
The Strategic Policy Statement (SPS) sets out the Cayman Islands Government’s seven Broad Outcomes for the 2026–2028 period. These priorities guide policy direction, Budget decisions, and the work of Ministries, Portfolios, and Offices across the public service.
They reflect Government’s commitment to building a stronger, fairer Cayman Islands — one in which Caymanians have access to opportunity, families can live securely and with dignity, and the Islands remain resilient for generations to come.
