AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Digital Payments Rollout: Barbados launched BiMPay, its national instant payment system, with Prime Minister Mottley making the first live transaction; the Central Bank says it will expand to integrate more government agencies, and NISSS plans to join in the next phase so pensioners can receive funds digitally. Public Service Tech: The Pearly app is rolling out to let citizens report concerns and track responses, aiming to make the Office of Citizen Engagement more responsive. Fintech Reform Debate: Credit unions welcomed BiMPay but urged policy fixes to remove barriers like employer salary deposits into credit union accounts. Infrastructure & Climate Resilience: A veteran engineer warned that poor stormwater drainage is driving road deterioration and flooding risk, calling for a drainage network overhaul. Health Systems & Skills: CARPHA trained regional staff to safely transport infectious specimens, strengthening lab and pandemic preparedness across member states. Local Innovation in Industry: Harris Paints unveiled Quantum Dry, a world-first single-base dry tinting system using dry pigment pearls, starting in Barbados before wider rollout. Regional Funding Opportunity: The EU opened a call for proposals for biodiversity and natural capital projects across Caribbean OCTs, with an online info session set for June 23 and a submission deadline of Aug 28, 2026.
