AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Digital Payments in Barbados: Central Bank Governor Dr. Kevin Greenidge says BiMPay will modernise Barbados’ payment “rail,” connecting banks and credit unions through a single interoperable platform to make digital payments faster, easier, safer and more accessible, with a public launch set for June 12. Health Tech & Hospital Upgrades: Queen Elizabeth Hospital is rolling out a major digital overhaul and capital works, including a new linear accelerator already delivering 1,500 cancer treatments and cutting waiting times for outpatient consultations. Public Health at School Level: Hillaby Turner’s Hall Primary School won’t close after scarlet fever concerns; lab testing found one Group A Strep case among 13 investigated, and officials say standard hygiene and mosquito-prevention measures remain key. Earthquake Monitoring: A magnitude 6.0 quake rattled the Southern Caribbean, with tremors felt in Barbados; the Met Office reports no tsunami threat and authorities continue monitoring. Caribbean Climate Risk: CIMH’s lead climatologist warns that even with fewer storms forecast, drought, delayed rains, extreme heat and sudden flooding could still threaten Barbados and the region. Regional Medicines Access: PAHO and OECS-PPS advance joint work to improve access to essential medicines and health technologies across Eastern Caribbean small island states. Tourism Tech & Connectivity: Caribbean Week in New York 2026 opens with leaders pushing resilience, connectivity and unified marketing, including a keynote on airline trends shaping Caribbean airlift. Education & Credentials Watch: Barbados-linked discussions echo wider regional warnings about unrecognised tertiary institutions and the need for due diligence on qualifications. Biometrics & Elections Reform (Regional): An OAS mission recommends modernising elections across the Bahamas with an independent electoral body, electronic results transmission, biometric voter ID and stronger cybersecurity.
