Barbados better placed to withstand economic risks, says Greenidge

Barbados is better positioned to withstand global economic risks, Central Bank Governor Dr Kevin Greenidge insisted on Tuesday, even as growth slows to around two per cent after the rapid post-pandemic recovery.

He sought to allay concerns about the country’s outlook as he commented on the African Export-Import Bank’s (Afreximbank) latest economic assessment of Barbados.

He noted that Afreximbank and the Central Bank broadly agreed on the country’s economic performance and outlook.
