Minister of International Business and Industry Ronald Toppin says Barbados is keen to welcome new foreign investment despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and monitoring by international bodies.

Last week he issued an invitation to Scotland businesses to invest in Barbados, adding the hope was that some of the digital nomads here on a Barbados Welcome Stamp visa would eventually transition to become business owners here.

He was speaking at the opening of a virtual Scotland trade mission.

Toppin said the 12-month Welcome Stamp “has proven to be very popular with the international business community and is a signal that Barbados is so much more than a leisure destination”.
