Marginal growth expected in Barbados

Prime Minister of Barbados David Thompson is reporting that the country is likely to register a marginal growth rate of 0.5 to 1 per cent.



Mr. Thompson says this is being driven largely by an anticipated improvement in the performance in both the traded and non-traded sectors.



He listed protecting employment and enhancing promotion of exports of goods and services among priority areas for Barbados in the current difficult economic situation.



In the meantime, Prime Minister Thompson says the country\'s economy is being properly managed.
