Barbadians are happy to see progress being made in the ease of doing business also referred to as business facilitation. For many years straddling both administrations the refrain has been – Barbados must improve the ease of doing business.
The use of technology to efficiently deliver goods and services is a nobrainer in 2021. The digitization of the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property office (CAIPO) went live last week Friday. Although the achievement on the eve of Barbados going to a republic will be hailed as historic by some, the blogmaster’s more sober review – it is better late than never. Finally anyone can register a business by accessing an online portal. What this blogmaster also looks forward to seeing in the near future is a seamless way of doing business across government departments to replace the current situation caused by disparate IT systems and processes.
Senator Kaye McConney et al in a relatively short 3 years have to be complimented. Barbadians look forward to the launch of the National ID project promised in January 2022. Better late then never!
In related news, BU reported a few weeks ago – see Barbados based Fintechs on the MOVE the foray fintech companies Ipay Anywhere and GIFTS made in the international arena by partnering with a Nigerian telco. Based on a recent local press report the same local fintechs recently announced a new partnership with Soleil Capitale Group, a Wall Street based investment banking firm.
Well done!

‘Let us further explain by example. There is a long list of countries where, without even entering or having lawyers or anybody else on the ground , the above functions can be completed in no time, no lawyers, no local offshore agents. Tell us that that can be done or will ever be, in Barbados. And this is just the tip of the dysfunction.’
I opened a small business corporation in 1988. I did it all myself. Filled in the forms and sent off a grand $35. When my son graduated, his first job was as a consultant and I made him open a business as well. He saved on tax and paid himself dividends in lieu of salary. His business is still registered even though he is in another field.

And there are hundreds of thousands of millions of them alone; even in our ‘average’ galaxy dubbed the Milky Way.
More than there have ever been humans who have walked on this ‘Lonely’ planet called Earth.
Well i hope the countries with intelligent leaders now see the uselessness and futility in stupidly sacrificing their people to tourism dependency…we can make none of this up it’s happening in real time…

although they are so far far away the ones you see may have died already as their images travel at the speed of light
There is hope…

That is why I asked David yesterday if the symptoms are mild like the common cold.
