World Bank Approves US$100 Million for Barbados’ Green and Resilient Recovery

World Bank release
Bridgetown, Barbados, January 11, 2023 — The World Bank approved yesterday $100 million in financing to support Barbados’ low carbon economic development and resilience to climate change.
“I cannot underscore enough the necessity of support, such as this, to middle income small island developing states,” said The Honorable Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados. “This loan allows Barbados to advance its efforts to achieve climate resilience, including continuing our shift to clean energy. This ultimately allows us to better shield Barbadians from the worst excesses of the climate crisis while creating opportunities for green and blue jobs and investment as we adapt to our new reality.”
The Barbados Green and Resilient Development Policy Loan has two main pillars. The first focuses on green and blue resilient development, which includes a new law on water reuse, the adoption of a climate change and agriculture policy and the establishment on an Environment Sustainability Fund, all of which are critical since Barbados is a water-scarce country. This pilar also supports the reduction of marine pollution, and management of natural resources, in the context of climate vulnerability.

Although inflation moderating in the US is good news, the not so good news in the short term is the lag factor.

Also noted y’day is the WB first bond issue of’23, the $3B(euro) 10yr bond yielding +/- 3% was oversubscribed.
This is key, as this is where the WB obtains the money it lends.

Borrowing is so much easier than restructuring isn’t it?

David, what about merit. What about setting aside contracts for SMEs. What about equality, or is that just a word.
@Dame Bajans
The suggestion you make is one successive governments have made but it seems to be lodged in the breach. It always is a case of those with resources being able to curry favour. Support to SMEs require an unswerving support from politicians knowing it will not be a financial benefit.

The sport is only just beginning. The Bank of Canada yesterday declared it’s first loss in it’s history. Losses are expected ‘indefinitely’. The USFed has had several, which they accumulate in a ‘deferred acct’. Only means losses must be repaid before any surplus is sent to the Govt. The ECB ‘hinted’ (code for guaranteed) they would post a loss. Like Canada, they don’t yet ‘defer’, so it’s recorded as negative equity. Meanwhile the Brits awoke to the news, BoE intervention after the mini budget fiasco, netted £3.8B, but it would still lose £19B last year, and into the foreseeable future. It usually turns a small surplus.
The “politics” of these losses are apt to create a few fireworks in ’23. They add debt most of their owner Govts never incur.
Swiss National Bank racked up 143 B in losses. The news that make you question the establishment.

It really makes one question the “independence” of central MONETARY Authorities. When they go playing fiscal games seemingly at the behest of political bodies who need money for policies which they don’t have.

All we can do is watch them. They are well past the point of no return.
You will note that only certain people are working digilently to save themselves and those around them.. The others are on their usual, sit and wait on corrupt politicians while they in turn are sitting and waiting on the massa they are suing….although everything has gone to hell…in something much larger than a hand basket…so who is leading whom.
“Of course, his is diametrically opposed to the wokeist, liberal-authoritarian, fascist, media propaganda narrative spun by the blob and this misguided blog!”
beginning to think these lost the thread many years further back than i thought, will never fully understand any of it anyway and no one got the time to turn back and explain. No looking back. My plate is capacity full for the next year.

“It really makes one question the “independence” of central MONETARY Authorities.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you suggesting that there was EVER a meaningful degree of such independence?
Do you understand that EVIL persons have sat down and meticulously studied how to manipulate the hoards of clueless sheeple for their own materialistic ends?
Did you think it a coincidence that 1% of the world’s population owns practically every shiite that exists?
Bushie ALWAYS saw these authorities as instruments of EVIL camouflaged as ‘do-gooders’.
All you need to do is to inspect their RESULTS to see their true intent.
You can also COMPARE their pissy results with those of such ‘rebels’ as Saddam of Iraq and Gaddafi of Libya – whose populations enjoyed such levels of economic equity and transparency that they HAD to be completely destroyed.
Our world currently BELONGS to this evil mafia, and people who question their brassbowlery become the ‘enemy’, and, like Gaddafi and Saddam will be ‘eliminated’.
…so you had better straighten up and get back to the North – and stop your ‘questioning..’
LOL
“Our world currently BELONGS to this evil mafia, ”
Rethink that…the white world belongs to them, our Afrikan world don’t, never did, never will… and if Afrikans cannot fathom anything other than a white world because of subservience, compliance, laziness in their comfort zones, refusal to think independently of lying corrupt colonial politicians and cowardice…they belong to them also…but millions of us dont.
Blame the wicked Slave politicians for keeping you completely disassociated from your ancestry for their masters. Ensuring you lack crucial knowledge.
Last i heard 2 days ago, the players hired 5,000 tropps to protect them for their next meet. So, confidence that they got 8 billion fulltime Slaves may be wavering.
Of course the Black man will cower in fear and watch his people slaughtered and even balls up only to justify it…not so other groups. They understand survival and PROTECTING THEIR PEOPLE….so the players clearly have a real problem, not smooth sailing as they projected.
“Rethink that…the white world belongs to them, our Afrikan world don’t, never did, never will… ”

Bushman…me thinks this is the best invention from the west to date..there is hope. Forget keeping tiefing human lawyers around..once the AI develop attributes of human crooks…poor water in their wiring…instant death. And rejig the other AIs left for those types of glitches.
Robot Lawyer To Hear First Case
If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of crime without the boredom and rampant alcoholism of lawyers, we present to you the world’s first robot lawyer.
Created by DoNotPay, the AI can give legal advice via smartphone as it listens along to opposing lawyers’ arguments. It can also file legal documentation with the court on a defendant’s behalf. The AI will argue its first case in February.
‘It’s all about language, and that’s what lawyers charge hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour to do,’ its creator said. ‘A lot of lawyers are just charging way too much money to copy and paste documents and I think they will definitely be replaced, and they should be replaced.’ Perhaps we should keep a few human lawyers around, though, just in case the robots turn to crime.
I do look forward to the deleting of politicians and their bottomfeeding sidekicks political scientists, whatever the hell that is…
The beauty of creating things especially evil, it can always be deleted by the creators…..and when you did not create it but are the weaponized tool…you can be so easily deleted, no questions or answers necessary. Ase!!! Ase!!! Ra!!!
Who would have thunk lawyers are now staring at extinction….next.
“… political scientists, whatever the hell that is…”
Political science is the scientific study of politics. It is a social science dealing with systems of governance and power, and the analysis of political activities, political thought, political behavior, and associated constitutions and laws.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_science
You’re welcome..
Yet they cant get shit right and have no viable solutions because colonial politics is not their creation, everything is messy and getting messier daily. Others, not them, make up the fraud rules as they go along, the political tools aka the chess pieces are only allowed to follow, be public nuisances, thieves, liars and misleaders … while massa makes the real decisions that benefits massa only.
I doubt any self-respecting, forward thinking massa worth their salt ..is up for that anymore, it has run it’s course. New creations on the horizon to unleash. While the Slaves wait for others to determine their destiny and assert new controls in their lives. Shame and Disgrace.
Next up for extinction…permanent deletion.
Here is a blast from the past..

People want to know why Barbados local media did not cover the Save Our Children Dec 10, 2022 event in Independence Square, i told them they had even better cover, it went global, across continents on AOP site this weekend. My website was jampacked. The accolades are many.
And it’s not done yet, will hit the Webflow site sometime this week. generating even more coverage.
I saw the photos (as instructed).
It’s a shame you didn’t capture the girls dancing choreography on video as the Nikon Z7 II has that function
Who told you i didnt capture them on video. That Z7 feature is fantastic. Am swamped and totally exhausted, it’s nowhere as easy as it looks.. Still working to upgrade Webflow to 2023. Web designer will do so this week. Still have to get french translation in.
Still have to edit video.
Rumour has it: New guvna of de cb soon.

From BT
Lane said the perception that crime is high is largely due to media reports, though he made clear that was not asking the media to “hide anything.”
From BT
He pointed to another island, with a lower population that recorded a higher murder rate than Barbados in 2022 and suggested that the media there was more responsible in its reporting.
He continued: “Their media down there tend to understand tourism is important so they got lead stories like ‘Big regatta next week’ in the front of them thing [news]. In Barbados when they reporting ‘Two dead last night’.”
Looks like Corey Lane will explain away or minimize crime in Barbados. Hopefully, he doesn’t use Jamaica as his baseline.
He attempted to make a simple point that an irresponsible media can shape public perception.
@ WURU
Don’t worry , sooner later we will all get it.
Keep up the good work.
Good to see you William. Thanks.
Hiel HitSchwab, Lord god Rothschild and the Gang got a meet today..

The negative soul messages in our warehouse of information are form ours and our ancestors mistakes from all lifetimes,
mistakes that have created negativity and sit within us.
We are a warehouse of information both positive and some negative, so when we clear the negative soul messages, information directly benefits our health, our happiness and every aspect of our lives, it removes suffering

I noticed that yourself and Pachamama recently sent a couple of very interesting links. One was based on Russia and its “special operation” in Ukraine and the other, the role of Christianity in the continent of Africa.
Please allow me to introduce another much needed link to BU. Sadly, BU appears to be suffering from famine and drought in equal measures to Barbados notorious low grade “media” houses.
TFL Global News appears to be an Indian Hindu nationalist publication? Never-the-less, its views are strident, provocative, with a hint of radicalism which appears to go amiss in our media houses and with some of the many BU apologists who continue to annoy, frustrate and to close down debate on this platform.

Is this the best some of you can do, insert negative and derogatory comments about the blog. If BU is not meeting whatever standard you and others have go and comment elsewhere.
TLSN…thanks for the link, always a pleasure. If you havent already,
check out the Photos Menu and Afrikan Advertising Menu pages on AOP and get something for sore eyes.
The media calling themselves traditional or whatever, have been successfully left behind because it’s clear they are neither sovereign nor independent… very unfortunate…..
even more so the Slaves who thought they could break me, broke themselves…despite many warnings. Dont know how either of them will do now but they will have to find the solutions themselves…for the problems they created.
I have noted the TFL news group and their outside the conventional box reporting. That gives them a leg up…since people have grown tired of the onesided reporting and shutting down of followups. Which proves that local media, like international media are all terminally compromised and people have actively shifted away to the many alternative news outlets now available everywhere who are not willing to compromise their ethics, morals, integrity or reputation to prop up an inevitably collapsing system and the criminals therein..
@ TLSN
“ Regards to Theo and Mr Skinner. Much respect to David whose hands appear tied.”
Thanks. Regards to you and Theo as well.
I don’t buy into fantasy words of old folks over 50 on Bu claiming to be radicals and name calling others in their imaginary cliques.
Lawd…trouble in Antigua. All ya hearing is prison, boyfriends with a 2 for 1 special, loss of election, execution. All the good stuff awaiting parliament traitors it seems.
First news a journalist woke me up with this morning. And they want to know how Barbados’ PM so quiet. I had to confess, i int in that big up clique bosie. The massa Slaves are in a class all their own.
I so love my simple, uncomplicated life.
@ David
I prefer to seek legitimate information, rather than believing silly, childish gossip is ‘breaking news.’
Gaston Browne’s Antigua & Barbuda Labour Party won yesterday’s general elections.
His party was reported to have won 9 of the 17 seats in the parliament, while the main opposition United Progressive Party won 6 seats……Barbuda People’s movement and independent candidate Asot Michael both won 1 seat.
Browne will be sworn in as PM today, which has been declared a public holiday.
@Artax
Brown was correct in his assessment of the result, like in Barbados it was the Opposition to win given the challenges SIDs had to contend in the last 3 years. What does it say?
So on jan 18th am laying in my bed, a journalist sent me a clip of a social media fight between Gaston Browne and Fred Corbin….all types of things were said, the above i alluded to and more. Today Barbados’ public nuisances weighed in the news on the fight like someone want to hear from the boring colonial Slaveminded of Barbados..
..wuh i never hear Fred set up the people of Dominica for vote rigging or thief their money yet or treat them like a colony. So dah body got a problems including the other idiot trying to lure the island’s people into a sense of FALSE SECURITY…wuh wunna name dpinv in my ancestry doa…
…there are accusations of who is CIA operative and who is mercenary or something close….and the fight continues…lol…nuff theatre…nuff more gossip to come.
This is how dangerous everything has gotten wordwide….btw.
You will no longer be able to maliciously insert yourself in other people’s comments to create mischief and strife. You can get buried when you have no clue what the topic is about. It’s best and safer to watch things play out.
Mischief-making has now turned deadly in 2023.
Oh dear. Best decision I made.#vindicated
But yet ya just could not help yaself…lol
