Another Government minister is encouraging Barbadians to put their money in the new edition of the Barbados Optional Savings Scheme (BOSS) bonds, now dubbed BOSS Plus.Leader of Government Business in the Senate, Senator Lisa Cummins said all are welcome to participate, as she introduced the 2022 Barbados Optional Savings Bonds Plus (Offer to the Public) Bill in the Upper House on Tuesday.“The BOSS Programme Plus in this instance is now open to everybody in Barbados. Why is this important? Institutional investors, corporations, the same commercial banks, the same credit unions, pension funds, all invest traditionally in different types of bonds, different types of securities. That’s where they make their money.“Average Barbadians who are earning a certain level typically look for savings, or they look for things like real estate and they buy a car and they want to be able to get by. But the wealthy institutions among us traditionally have always invested, they have always bought things like bonds, and what the Government is trying to do in this instance… is to make sure that the measures that have always been available to institutions and those who have strong access to large amounts of capital, strong histories of investment, that the same mechanisms have been made available to Barbadians,” she explained.
