Just two weeks before the highly anticipated Budget presentation by Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler, he, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and other members of Cabinet met with representatives of the Social Partnership on Friday.
Among those attending the five-hour meeting at Hilton Barbados were general secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union Sir Roy Trotman (right) and Governor of the Central Bank Dr DeLisle Worrell.
The meeting was the latest in a series of discussions that Sinckler and the Prime Minister had with the major stakeholders in Barbados, coming out of a national consultation held with all the players last month.
Today, Sinckler and officials of the Central Bank will join the Barbados Chamber of Commerce & Industry for a news conference at its Deighton Road, St Michael headquarters.
