Summary
Barbados is set to launch a major overhaul of its financial system later this year, introducing a new bankruptcy law and deposit protection framework to safeguard depositors and stabilize the economy. Designed to work together, these reforms will empower the Barbados Deposit Insurance Corporation to swiftly liquidate failing institutions and ensure creditors and shareholders are paid fairly. A key highlight is that for the first time, credit unions — which have exploded in size from $400 million in 2007 to nearly $3 billion by 2025 — will receive the same state-backed insurance as banks, protecting the vast majority of members’ deposits up to $25,000. This move aims to boost public trust and secure the financial future of families, small businesses, and hundreds of thousands of credit union members.
