What is the state of the Barbados economy?

When Gypsy penned the calypso.”Captain dis ship is sinking…Captain these times are rough” such were the days of hard times for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.The mighty ship shadowed was a propinquity, the “SSS Trinidad” Gypsy could have never imagined, how history would repeated itself in many ways, for these small, but philtre islands in this western archipelago called the West Indies.

Seems like a once well run ship laden with $2.8 billion in reserves, has somewhat mysteriously drifted into these conspicuous waters again.. Oxford English dictionary defines drifted as ” to be carried gently along by or as if by a current of water or air”. Was such the SSS Barbados’ fate ? Inertia more suit’s the bill.

If one would recall, way back in 2007, the incumbent Admiral was confronted with signs of a pending economic crisis on the horizon and blew the horns to fore warn…” buckle down and prepare for stormy weather “. Were these warnings heeded ? NO. When the new crew boarded ship, it was as if for a joy ride…even one cheeky, well now embellished fellow had the audaciousness of shouting to the ousted crew “We don’t want any advise from you.” With that they sailed off into the sunset, ship laden with treasury unaware of their pending fate.

Today, five years after that sad presumption.. Life on the SSS Barbados has taken a turn for the worst. Ambivalence has taken root as there is no longer a feeling of “joie de vivre. ” Instead the crew portrays long and hardened faces as they recall days of a mutiny from within…quelled but not forgotten. Many with thoughts of an amelioration, as they gloat among themselves of the propitious Glory Days. Alas all hands on deck…Land ahoy ! Soon time to re-man this ill charted ship.

    ….continue.
    The Battle for Bridgetown Dock Yard was in fully swing, when a proper pork ass asked for a time out…..where were we ? Oh yeah as per balance

    “the erstwhile and forlorn fumbling captain that the desperate crew contemplating mutiny again turned and said Oh wise and upright fumble , save thyself and us and Fumble fumbling for an answer said ‘ it is not good to kick against the pricks’then said the crew “Breaketh we then must for ourselves’”notwithstanding that the zealot King arthur might command again for even the sea and the waves seem to obey him.”

    Chicken wings man these crew “Breaketh” for chicken wings….the capitan been so scared had to temporarily retire himself to the mess hall to properly adorn himself affa his run in..

    David my attendance at George St in the morning was time well spent. Fruendel Stuart was in tippity top form, a cutting speech at once inspirational all the while ripping the BLP to shreds. If Stuart remains in the mood he’s in the boasting the counting of eggs in fowl botsy by rotten onion, the millers the prodigals the motley crew of blp yardfowls will come to naught. They’ll be crying in their bush tea in April. Kudos to Stuart his impeccable character was lined up next to the shady OSA, the latter came off very badly so did his co leader malik with teet.

    Since when Stuart ever got it right ?….”Cutting speech inspirational and ripping the BLP to shreds”? In my days back at Cawmeer..we used to call that bare slack talk ( meaning unable to be backed).Man you must be a real hairy rabbit to still have faith in Stuart…From what CBC showed us…he was fighting even to convince himself and that we could gather from a 3 min clip ..lol. As to the far-longed faces in the pack..their looks were more one of dismay and fright..Defiant man you really come in here tonight asking sensible people to believe that trite? If you doubt me ask Eversley to give you a replay….the face cannot hide the truth for long, and from what we saw… that was not an inspired pack…BTW if Stuart so sure and everybody so hyped….. then the sensible thing is to strike while the iron is hott and ring the bell…..Now that would be a sure sign of gumption and “DUnUm, just like dat” …for the motley, “stuck in the botsey” BLP crew, ..that I sure all BU can agree on…..When Stuart rings that bell then the whole of Barbados knows ‘he ready’ and botsied eggs still countable….not til den….By the way what about CLICO ?….well don’t be too fluid wid your impeccable talk….(you probably mistake for speckled)….cuz ya on a real tight rope wid that one…ask Lisa

    i remember the last time Mr Stuart was in tippity form at an annual covention, he ripped Mr Thompson to shreds. Did he speak of the land swap deal or if the heads of the eager 11 would stil roll or why Mr Jones has been replacd as Acting Deputy Prime MInister by Mr Sealy.The latter could be easily solved by announcing that the decision is part of the planning process to give every MInister over a period of time the opportunity to become rounded as Mr Arthur said of MIss Mottley.

    So interesting we are debating these issues instead of which party is perceived as more competent to govern the country. If it is that the BLP is perceived to be more competent are we saying that the electorate will go with this as the prevailing reason and ignore any doubts the DLP may raise about Arthur’s integrity? It is say where we have gotten to, really!

    A long article that leaves some food for thought;
    AUG 19 – MILAN — It is no secret that the global economy is struggling. Europe is in the midst of a crisis whose root cause is a structurally flawed monetary and economic union. The United States, emerging slowly from a financial crisis and widespread deleveraging, is experiencing a growth slowdown, a persistent employment problem, an adverse shift in income distribution, and structural challenges, with little effective or decisive policy action.
    Meanwhile, among the major emerging economies, China’s reform process is on hold, pending a leadership transition this fall that will clarify various internal interests’ goals and power relationships. India, which has lost reform momentum, is experiencing an economic slowdown and a potential loss of investor confidence.
    The negative effects of these problems are now interacting, feeding back on themselves, and spreading to the rest of the global economy. And yet, despite a palpable sense of concern that something is very wrong, the prognosis for significant change is bleak — and deteriorating.
    What accounts for the apparent lack of effective policy action across a broad range of countries and regions?
    One line of thinking blames a “leadership vacuum” — a common diagnosis in Europe. Elsewhere — especially in the US — polarization and ugly zero-sum politics are thought to discourage potentially capable political leadership.
    But, absent further analysis, the leadership vacuum becomes a catchall explanation. What we need to know is why new political leadership in democracies like France, Britain, Japan, and the US has produced so little change.
    A second explanation addresses that question: While bold action is required, the complexity of economic conditions, and disagreement about the right policy responses, implies a risk of serious error. For professional politicians and policymakers in such circumstances, less may be more. On this view, risk aversion both reflects and reinforces a divergence between individual incentives (the desire to be reelected, reappointed, or promoted) and collective needs (fixing problems).
    A third answer is that policy instruments are simply ineffective in today’s conditions. There is some merit to this claim. Economic deleveraging takes time. The restoration of sustainable patterns of growth requires years, not months. Expectations may be out of line with the underlying reality.
    But the absence of a quick solution does not mean that nothing can be done to improve the speed and quality of recovery.
    Vested interests may also play a role. Technological innovation and global market forces have produced a decisive shift in income toward capital and the upper 20% of the income distribution, often at the expense of middle-income groups, the unemployed, and the young. The beneficiaries of these trends may have accumulated enough political influence to maintain the status quo, highlighting distributional issues that have generally received too little attention in understanding policy responses or their absence.
    There are structural explanations for policy inaction as well. Governance systems and constitutional structures differ in the extent to which they require broad consensus for official action, or to change policy direction in response to shocks or shifting conditions.
    Some argue that the more constraining political systems work well in stable times, but perform poorly under volatile conditions like those prevailing today. Others support constrained government on the grounds that it protects everyone from waste, rent-seeking, and interference with freedom of choice, and that, when needed, inspired leadership can build the required consensus to address changing circumstances. High hurdles to major shifts in policy direction force officials to make a convincing case.
    That is an inherently difficult task at a time when rapid change in the global economy has left many still trying to understand what is happening and what it all means for growth, stability, the distribution of income, and employment. In the face of such complexity, it is not surprising that genuine policy disagreements lead to extended debate and relatively little action.
    Moreover, the technocratic elements of government must often be balanced against democratic accountability. In every society, individuals with special training and expertise are appointed to perform technically complex functions. Their freedom of action is constrained by time limits and reappointment procedures that determine the nature and degree of their accountability to elected officials and the public. There can be too little freedom of action (populism) or too little accountability (autocracy).
    The necessary balance may vary according to local conditions. For example, many China observers believe that accountability there needs to increase at this stage of the country’s economic, social, and political evolution. Others argue that Western democracies have the opposite problem: a surfeit of narrow, politically assertive interests leads to underinvestment and poor tradeoffs between present and future opportunities and performance.
    This brings us to a crucial obstacle: Government, business, financial, and academic elites are not trusted. Lack of trust in elites is probably healthy at some level, but numerous polls indicate that it is in rapid decline, which surely increases citizens’ reluctance to delegate authority to navigate an uncertain global economic environment.
    Loss of trust probably has multiple causes, including analytical failure: central banks, regulators, market participants, rating agencies, and economists almost all failed to detect rising systemic risk in the years preceding the current crisis, much less to take appropriate corrective action. But a more important cause is a suspicion that elites are placing their own interests above shared social values.
    Claims that our leadership, institutions, analyses, or policy instruments are inadequate to the task at hand surely contain a kernel of truth. But the deeper problem is a breakdown in precisely such values and goals — that is, a weakening of social cohesion. Restoring it will require analysts, policymakers, business leaders, and civil-society groups to clarify causes, share blame for mistakes, pursue flexible solutions in which costs are shared equitably, and, most important, explain that hard problems cannot be solved overnight.

    A good article which makes plain the need for astute leadership in these times. Many articles which we have in the inbox summarizes similarly. We are going to have challenges, our leadership will have to make the best decisions; if they can.

    Agree that if current state was used to judge outcome of the general election the BLP wins going away. The caution (x factor) is the fact the DLP has not mounted any serious campaign up to now. One should expect post convention for the political rhetoric on the government side to increase.

    “A side point is to note that the price of oil has risen to $100.00 per barrel.
    What will be the government’s strategy this time around?”

    Any view on the reason for this current climb? Maybe the oil markets are jittery about the coming Israel/Iran conflict after the US presidential elections.

    But why can’t our government strike a deal with Trinidad to help us cushion any spikes is prices on the international markets? What’s the use of CSME to Barbados if we can’t call on our fellow member states for help in our hour of need or is the pride of this government to much even with our junk bond status? If the price of oil continues to climb it, along with coming increases in food prices, would put tremendous pressures on the local economy and on our fast dwindling foreign reserves therefore significantly affecting already overburdened consumers especially of electricity.
    If the DLP is so confident of its reelection to government then it would be in their very best interest to call general elections now before the incoming waves of price increases reach the political shores. There is no way the DLP can survive the backlash from the much trumpeted and harkened mantra of the last general elections: Jobs. No. 1, 2, & 3 COL! COL! COL!
    Significant and far reaching economic changes and public sector revamping must be undertaken and initiated within the coming 6-12 months. The longer the DLP administration delays the inevitable the worse the illness will become with the medicine more unpalatable when administered by outside uncaring doctors.

    There has been so much mystery around how price points are fixed under both governments that it would be an adventurous person of the lay variety to speak with authority on this issue. Commonsense suggest that unless T&T is part of an oil cartel cost of T&T oil should be unaffected.

    Exactly what is the crude ‘contribution’ to our oil supply/pricing, god knows.

    PM Stuart’s continued pronouncements on anything related to CLICO tells me that he should refrain from claiming to be a man of integrity. Here’s an extract from today’s Nation: THE CLICO forensic audit report was stolen and its contents did not accuse him, Government or late Prime Minister David Thompson of anything. But as far as i can recall NO ONE was accused, but we all know otherwise.

    Well well ,FS was on song at Dem auditorium best political speech on either side post the untimely passing of Thommo. No drunken bad man demogogue Arthur delivery, no boom voiced waffling Mia speak. Neither was there the squeaky leaks of Malik with teet. By the way the Bees parliamentarian they say brutalise his wife speaks like Malik without teet.

    FS was clear he exuded right amount of confidence and controlled aggression told and challenged the world on his willingness to sacrifice. He isnt in politics for money had nothing to hide. FS challeged the thousands of extended family of Errol Barrow to rally and rout the Bees at next year’s elections .

    The PM gave an insight into the sham the skulldugery that’s the BLP. Arthur’s notorious speech filled with tears in the House on his plan to leave politics if he didnt get more money was revisited. Who thief the CLICO report? My guess a BLP operative. Where was onion on the night of April 24th?

    That is exactly my point and therefore the man is of no more integrity that anybody else–a mere myth. Furthermore how he could be of so much integrity and despite all the questionable practices by Cabinet members including the infamous text, he has never once condemned any act committed by this administration? Simple….it is called power.

    Why do we dilute the information as we know it?

    The issue about the 3.3 million is how it was invoiced to the company by Thompson Associates. Then there is the question how could Thompson Associates have invoiced the matter when legally David Thompson was suppose to have been removed from the company. We really need to stop insulting the intelligence of those who read. We are not stupid out here.
