Miss Violet's Barbados Bulletin – April 8, 2026

Good morning, children. Miss Violet here. Pull up a chair. There is a great deal to cover and I will not be rushing.

ON THE WORLD BANK REPORT

The World Bank has released its Caribbean Economic Update. Barbados is projected to grow 2.7 percent this year and 3.0 percent next. This is respectable. This reflects sound monetary management, a stable tourism sector, and a government that has, on balance, not made things dramatically worse. We do not celebrate mediocrity, but we do acknowledge competence where it exists.
