BEF: Working to create create the new competitive Barbados
Our prosperity is connected entirely to the global economy not to a small domestic consumer base. We have nothing to fear from going fully global as quickly as possible.
(iv). The quality and reputation of our legal justice system is an essential pillar to achieve our international business ambitions. Urgent focus in this area in now needed.
Promoting entrepreneurship on a bedrock of competitiveness in now the national obsession of many governments and societies around the world. To a significant degree we are lagging behind. We must educate our people about competitiveness and the role it plays in their own success. This is an urgent challenge so that we can press ahead with making the structural changes we need to succeed in a global economy. The recent debate on privatization needs to be positioned within this context.
