Posted on May 28, 2019 by David 61 comments

What grade does the BLP deserve after their first year in Government? Solutions Barbados compared their achievements with those of the last DLP administration.

For the next days and perhaps weeks there will be palaver about how effective the policies of the Barbados Labour Paty (BLP) have been since taking up the office.

We are now in BERT Phase 3. After the IMF’s recent assessment of the previous phases, the result of the BERT severe austerity program is foreseen – the BLP administration will meet the IMF’s targets.
