AI no immediate threat to financial system, CBB report finds

Financial regulators have found no measurable evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) currently poses a systemic risk to Barbados’ financial system, but they are urging closer monitoring of how the technology is being used across the sector.

The Central Bank of Barbados (CBB) in its report “Artificial Intelligence and Financial Stability in Barbados” said its assessment was based on available evidence and international research.

“The Bank reached this view in an assessment published alongside the 2025 Financial Stability Report, drawing on a review of the international evidence,” the CBB said.
