## Resource

Barbados’ central bank is urging the government to lock in financing now before global borrowing costs climb—advocating for a strategic “large envelope” of accessible funds to support future projects without derailing debt reduction. Governor Dr. Kevin Greenidge stresses proactive planning, careful rate analysis, and leveraging existing IMF ties to secure favorable terms, ensuring the nation stays on track for development without paying inflated rates later.
