AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Property Market Timing: NVEST Estates says Barbados buyers may get better deals in summer, when fewer international shoppers reduce competition and improve negotiating power. Tourism & Hospitality: Royalton Vessence Barbados has opened on the Platinum Coast as an adult-oriented all-inclusive concept, positioning Barbados for a new wave of experiential travel. Tech in Loyalty: Sun Group launched Sun Signature, powered by Amadeus, to run a single loyalty account across airlines, resorts, entertainment and more. Agriculture Investment: Minister Shantal Munro-Knight outlined an “Agriculture 2030” roadmap with about $272m in priority investments to reshape farming into a resilience and food-security pillar. Postal Green Upgrade: Barbados Postal Service received an electric postal cart as part of a wider push toward a 2030 carbon-neutral economy. Finance & Payments: Central Bank Governor Kevin Greenidge reassured users that BimPay safeguards protect financial information, while work continues to address payment issues. Reparations Push: Barbados plans to take its slavery reparations case to the UN in a joint effort with the African Union. Fraud Alert: The UWI warned the public about an unauthorised website using its branding and collecting personal data.
