This new date was set by Madam Justice Jacqueline Cornelius, who heard the case in the Supreme Court yesterday. Speaking to the media after the proceedings, Attorney-at-law, Neil Marshall, who represents Senator Franklyn, explained what occurred. “The issues that we are dealing with right now is the filing of certain documents such as affidavit and response and some legal submissions from the office of the Attorney General, Solicitor General Office, so we are at that stage. Once each party has all these relevant documents and the court has the relevant documents, we will be then in a position to make a complete step forward. We expect that at least by the 29th, we should be back in court and by then we will know definitively how the matter will proceed forward.” Though filed with a Certificate of Urgency, according to Madam Justice Cornelius the case is being dealt with “quickly as opposed to urgently”. Marshall said, “It is still being treated though not urgently, but it is being treated as one of such importance that the court has been prepared to hear it with some alacrity.” Prior to the start of proceedings, Madam Justice Cornelius asked if either counsel wished that she recused herself from the case, given that her husband is a Member of Parliament. Both attorneys – Marshall and Principal Crown Counsel for the Solicitor General Office, Marsha Lougheed – said they had no issue with her presiding over the matter. Speaking to the media, Senator Franklyn said he was not troubled about how things turned out on the day. “I am not bothered as long as I get a Opposition Senator Caswell Franklyn and Attorney-at-law, Neil Marshall (left), exiting the Supreme Court yesterday. matter before the court.

  • Caribbean State Posture, Merchant Capital and the Export Services Option
    Third World Quarterly, Vol 23, No 4, pp 725–751, 2002 At whose service? Caribbean state posture, merchant capital and the export services option DON D MARSHALL ABSTRACT Elite planners in the Eastern Caribbean sub-region pin their hopes of economic viability on tourism, a vibrant offshore financial (and other) services sector and an increase in export activity from companies operating out of industrial parks. Framed against the perception of an inevitable globalisation process underway, with limitations posed to high-level or diversified manu- facturing, power holders have sought to concentrate on the promotion of ‘export services’ as a viable cover against new competitive challenges. This article argues, however, that this state of affairs betrays a crisis-of-mission within the ruling class on how to reconstruct political economies marked by the hegemony of merchant capital. Rather than a move towards what are globally the most remunerative factors of production—high-level manufacturing and services—a rather curious consensus has emerged which proclaims a solid future for export services without roots and/or ganglia to local manufacturing. The success of such an ‘export services’ model anywhere in the Eastern Caribbean will not turn as much on the quality of human resources as it will on overcoming the short- term horizon of local politicians, and the low-risk predilections of the wealthy planter–merchant elite. The latter’s conscious ‘opt out’ strategy on the question of manufacturing diversity has made for a strikingly conservative enterprise culture. More specifically, merchant capitalist societies like those in the Eastern Caribbean insufficiently display the sociocultural attributes required for the creation of high-level services: innovation-mediated risk, research and develop- ment competence, and affinities to industrial processes and networks.

  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future
    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

  • Retailers Encouraged to Keep Prices Down
    Established October 1895 It’s red…red…red! Monday March 16, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive RETAILERS ENCOURAGED TO KEEP PRICES DOWN AS the COVID-19 virus spreads throughout the world, a local government minister is not only urging Barbadians not to panic, but is putting the case to retailers and wholesalers in this country not to jack up their prices. Minister of Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Commerce, Dwight Sutherland issued the appeal while speaking to The Barbados Advocate yesterday morning, on the sidelines of a service at Love and Light Ministries, which is based at the St. George Secondary School, to mark World Consumer Rights Day. Sutherland noted that while Barbados remained virus free, with the spread of the novel coronavirus in the Caribbean, persons living here have been stocking up on goods including hand sanitisers and other disinfecting products, which he ad- mitted has resulted in such items being in short supply. However, the Commerce Minister says stock is on its way and he is hopeful that no exorbitant prices will be charged when those items reach here. “We believe the way to address this is to have consultation with the With concerns growing about the novel coronavirus, the congregation at Love and Light Ministries, linked arms instead of stakeholders and involve the retailers holding hands during yesterday’s service.

(246) 436-7836 E-Mail Address: [email protected] Website: www.centralbank.org.bb Remarks by Mr. Cleviston Haynes Governor, Central Bank of Barbados at “Debt Exchange – Risks and Opportunities: Leveraging the Jamaican Experience” Courtney Blackman Grande Salle Thursday, November 15, 2018 On behalf of the Management and staff of the Central Bank, I welcome everyone to this workshop, which is geared towards sharing insights on the functioning of the money and capital markets in the aftermath of the restructuring of Barbados’ domestic debt. I take this opportunity to thank NCB Capital Markets Barbados Limited for its willingness to share with us their experience and knowledge gained from the Jamaica Debt restructuring exercise in 2013. On June 1, 2018, the newly-elected administration announced the unprecedented decision that Barbados had decided to suspend the servicing of commercial foreign debt payments and restructure both domestic and external debt. The purpose was to limit foreign reserves outflows, while securing meaningful and gradual debt reduction, thereby reducing financing needs and restoring debt sustainability. The subsequent launch of a comprehensive domestic debt restructuring exercise on September 7 2018, as a critical component of the Barbados Economic Recovery Transformation (BERT) Programme, achieved near unanimous acceptance of the debt exchange proposals, with 97% participation by creditors. The terms of the new instruments involve some sacrifice by all bondholders, as Government seeks to balance the fiscal imperatives, including anchoring the BERT programme through a reduction in the debt-to-GDP ratio to 60% by 2033, against the need to preserve financial stability and protect the long-term interests of small bondholders.

  • Sixth Tom Adams Memorial Lecture, 2015
    The Sixth Annual Tom Adams Memorial Lecture Title: Tactician and Strategist Extraordinaire and Transformative Prime Minister Delivered by Sir Richard Cheltenham Following is an edited version of the Sixth Tom Adams Memorial Lecture delivered by attorney-at-law and former Member of Parliament Sir Richard Cheltenham, QC, last Wednesday, March 11, at the Grande Salle, Tom Adams Financial Centre, The City, marking the 30th anniversary of former Prime Minister Adams’ passing. Tom Adams is, on any reckoning, one of the most outstanding and gifted Barbadians of our history. His contribution to party politics, the House of Assembly, the constituency of St Thomas and to the country and its governance has been large indeed. It is wholly appropriate, therefore, that his memory is being kept alive. It is commendable that for the last 30 years –– and today, too –– the constituency branch has placed a floral arrangement on his grave . It is only about ten years ago that this lecture series commenced. This evening’s lecture is the Sixth Tom Adams Memorial Lecture. They have not been annual, but they have been continuing. At the forefront of the efforts has been the Honourable Ms Cynthia Forde, the Member of Parliament for St Thomas. I want to recognize her for her untiring and enlightened efforts in regard to Tom’s memory, and for her caring and energetic service as a Member of Parliament. Sir Alexander Hoyos’ book Tom Adams: A Biography apart, much of what has been written to date relates to his role in sending Barbadian troops to St Vincent in December, 1979, to quell the disturbance at Arnos Vale.
