    Protecting Barbados’ Credit Unions (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Barbados Public Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union was not built by bankers. It was built by public servants who pooled their savings because the established banks would not serve them. It is the largest credit union in Barbados and has been empowering generations of Barbadians financially since 1970. That is why its members have every right to ask hard questions now. The numbers in the credit union’s own annual reports are hard to ignore. Over the five years to 2025, the Group’s operating e

    Limp Rope Strategy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Why Singapore's Economy Outshines Barbados (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most times when reference is made to Singapore, it is about the system of government and how it has been able to transform itself into a model economy. Here is one of many examples why Barbados will never be able to compare to Singapore. We do not have the will, the mindset, or the discipline required to close the widening gap. In Barbados, the Ministry of Agriculture is routinely treated as a low status portfolio, like Sports – assigned to junior members of Parliament (MP) or to individuals who
