BARBADIANS PAY THE highest prices for gasoline and diesel in the Eastern Caribbean.
What’s more, while the Eastern Caribbean territories have begun to reap the benefits from the dramatic drop of more than US$50 a barrel in crude oil prices on the world market since last June, Barbadians have only received a cut of 36 cents in prices at the pump since last July.
A comparative analysis of prices paid by the countries in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) – Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines – and Barbados show that Barbadians pay between $1.49 and 65 cents more for a litre of gasoline, and between 51 cents and five cents more for diesel.
