The Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados Mr Cleviston Haynes has delivered some of the best news we have heard on the Barbados economy for some time.Burdened by all the depressing reports of rising unemployment, business disruptions and closures, COVID-19 infections, and the debate over mandatory vaccinations, it may have been overlooked that the island’s economy had registered growth.The skeptics may remark that after more than a year in recession, there was no where to go but up, especially after the island was placed on the coveted “green list” by our most important tourism market - the United Kingdom (UK).
