Increasing value-added – Barbados
Barbados was one of the first Caribbean sugar-based economies to diversify its industrial base. One early component of that diversification strategy in the 1980s was to attract back office data-processing operations. Early foreign investors were primarily from the United States, led by American Airlines.
Barbados
Barbados experienced continued economic contraction in 2009, with GDP declining by 3.6%. This reflected the slowdown in most economic sectors during the year, with modest improvements during the first quarter of 2010, when the rate of decline improved to 0.1%. The economic slowdown reflected a 6.6% fall in sectoral GDP from tourism, a pivotal sector in the Barbadian economy. However, reduced growth in other sectors also contributed to the weakened economy, with mining and quarrying falling by 20.0% and construction down by 10.0%. The manufacturing sector also declined, by 5.0%.
