Central Bank of Barbados Governor, Dr. DeLisle Worrell and a panel of experts comprising Professor Winston Moore, Head of the Department of Economics at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill; Donna Wellington, President of The Barbados Bankers’ Association; Reginald Farley, Executive Director of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados; and Jewel Brathwaite, a well respected business journalist discussed a wide range of topics related to the economy.

Throughout the evening, the panel took questions from the forum’s two moderators, Dean St. Hill and Patrick “Salt” Bellamy, as well as from the studio audience and from Facebook, where the event was being livestreamed. Over the 90 minutes, issues such as the fiscal deficit, the decline in the island’s foreign reserves, the printing of money and the effects of low productivity were debated with a great deal of candor.

  1. Dominoes are continuing to fall, world wide.. as “spokesman” for the private investor, grasping to straws to keep the ship afloat is futile… better to dump the cargo and go with the tide…better days ahead.


  2. A little birdie told me to ask

    Was any board member a lawyer in the dead king”s law firm and by appointed by him to the board?
    Were any two board members slated to be interim judges before this plan was spoked and considered to be of favoured status by those holding the reins of power?
    Was any board member a major campaign contributor who has no real credentials to be on the board?
    Is the real problem that the governor gave a public warning about the printing of money and caused people to question if this country has any proper fiscal plan and the timing of the restored 10% salary?

    When you get the right answers the little birdie said you have to ask is the move to remove the governor more in the public’s interest or someone else’s.
