BARBADOS’ TIES with its former colonial power will live on despite Brexit.

This was the assurance from Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler, who was speaking at the Domestic Financial Institutions Conference at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre on Tuesday.

He said Barbados would have to determine its response in the wake of a majority vote by British nationals for their country to leave the European Union (EU).

“Our response ought not to be a panic. We ought not to be headless chickens snatching, snaring or grabbing at every other type of negative potential fallout from the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union,” he said. (HLE)
