Real Estate & Finance: Eppley Caribbean Property Fund’s Value Fund posted nine-month gains, with FFO up 20% to Bds$4.57m, net operating income up 9% to Bds$9.40m, and net asset value per share rising 10% to $1.03, alongside a further quarterly dividend of 0.50 cents per share. Co-operatives Policy: Barbados has launched consultations to modernise the non-financial cooperative sector, aiming to update outdated regulation, improve access to affordable capital, and strengthen governance through stakeholder input. Energy & Manufacturing: Solar Dynamics Limited’s assets have been put up for sale after the company was placed in receivership, raising questions for local solar water-heating manufacturing and jobs. Agri-Food Supply Chains: Farmers and vendors welcomed Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s push for formal contract buy-in by Massy, backed by $2m per quarter, to give producers more market certainty. Construction & Local Content: The Barbados Private Sector Association backed calls to strengthen support for manufacturers, warning that imported construction materials are eroding domestic capacity during the building boom. Shipping & Retail: Shipping disruptions have delayed back-to-school supplies at Abed’s, with concerns that similar issues could hit Christmas stock. Poultry & Training: FundAccess and UWI CAGRI completed broiler and layer management workshops for 22 participants, boosting skills for poultry enterprise development. Digital Payments: Former Central Bank governor Dr Delisle Worrell argued digital payments reduce loss and fraud risk compared with cash, while noting the need for secure transaction reassurance. Environment & Chemicals: Barbados is reviewing whether to tighten controls or ban paraquat (Gramoxone) as more countries phase it out over health concerns. Tourism Leadership: Caribbean Media Exchange completed its 2026 Leadership Laureates roster, spanning aviation, cruise, hospitality, sustainability, destination leadership and media.
