For us in the region, and indeed in Trinidad and Tobago, the issue should not
just be viewed as an overly simplistic contrast between the private sector (the
market) and the government. It really should be a more complex question
of the nature of relationships among market, nonmarket, government and
state, and voluntary institutions, and the particular forms that the government
intervention takes and the role of the governance structure in providing an
enabling environment for sustainable economic growth and development.

“The process of privatization or state divestment began in Jamaica in early
1980s. A divestment policy, at that time, was proposed to ensure that public
funds were not used to finance the operations of inefficient enterprises and to
reduce the burden on the budget of the Government of Jamaica (GOJ)” .

The swift and urgent implementation of the goals, objectives and strategies
outlined in the Medium-term Growth and Development Strategy 2013-2020
is vital to the realization of positive growth levels. The envisaged positive
growth levels for Barbados hinges however on the return to favorable growth
within the global economy, particularly the USA and Euro-zone area to which
Barbados economy is in- extrinsically linked.
The Honorable Christopher Peter Sinckler, MP
