Abstract

Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk was a German-born surveyor & traveller. In 1835-1839 he explored British Guiana for the Royal Geographical Society, & in 1840 he was appointed to define its boundaries with Brazil. Knighted for his work, he then visited Barbados for the Barbados General Railway Company, publishing The History of Barbados in 1848. This substantial work contains - unsurprisingly given his background - a great deal more than a chronological narrative of the settlement & history of the island. He begins with a geographical analysis, statistical information, & an examination of the political & sociological state of Barbados. The third part is on the geology, mineral resources, & natural history of the colony. Although physically small, Barbados was extremely important both to British imperial policies & to her economy, playing a key role in the Atlantic trade routes, particularly for sugar.

Abstract

This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights that Barbados’ deficit declined to 4.4 percent of GDP in 2016, about of half that in 2014, owing to lower energy prices and a recovery in export earnings. The current account deficit is projected to continue to narrow to 3.7 percent in 2017, and to 2.9 percent of GDP in 2018 as a result of lower imports, but continued weakness in the financial account and delayed privatization will contribute to weak reserves. The fiscal deficit is estimated to have declined to 5.5 percent of GDP in FY2016/17. The IMF staff project further progress in reducing the fiscal deficit, to 4.1 percent of GDP in FY2017/18 without divestment proceeds.
