The country's three main economic drivers are: <a href="/wiki/Tourism" title="Tourism">tourism</a>, the <a href="/wiki/International_business" title="International business">international business</a> sector, and foreign direct-investment. These are supported in part by Barbados operating as a service-driven economy and an international <a href="/wiki/Serviced_office" title="Serviced office">business centre</a>. </p><p>In June 2018 Barbados announced the default on its <a href="/wiki/Bond_(finance)" title="Bond (finance)">bonds</a>, after revealing that its debt amounted to $7.5 billion (the fourth highest debt in <a href="/wiki/Debt-to-GDP_ratio" title="Debt-to-GDP ratio">debt-to-GDP ratio</a> in the world).<sup id="cite_ref-auto_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pre-independence">Pre-independence</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Pre-independence"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since the first settlement by the British in 1625, through history the <b>economy of Barbados</b> was primarily dependent on agriculture. It had been recorded that minus the marshes and gully regions, during the 1630s much of the desirable land had been deforested across the entire island. In the 1640s, </p><p>Barbados shifted from small-scale mixed crop farming using indentured labor to large-scale sugar production, introduced by the Jewish community that immigrated to Barbados when exiled from <a href="/wiki/Dutch_Brazil" title="Dutch Brazil">Dutch Brazil</a>. Land was divided into large estate-plantations, with a labor-force that was almost entirely made up of <a href="/wiki/Barbados_Slave_Code" title="Barbados Slave Code">enslaved men and women</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Sugar cane became the driving force in the economy of Barbados. Barbados soon had built so many windmills that the island had the second highest density of windmills per square mile in the world, after the Netherlands.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For about the next 100 years Barbados remained the richest of all the European colonies in the Caribbean region due to sugar. The prosperity in the colony of Barbados remained regionally unmatched until sugar cane production caught up in geographically larger countries such as <a href="/wiki/Jamaica" title="Jamaica">Jamaica</a> and elsewhere. Despite being eclipsed by larger makers of sugar, Barbados continued to produce the crop well into the 20th century. </p><p>While the <a href="/wiki/Abolitionism_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Abolitionism in the United Kingdom">emancipation</a> of African slaves in the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a> in 1833, nominally liberated the slaves, limited access to education and land kept the freed as a disenfranchised underclass.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As such, emphasis began to be placed on increased labour rights as well as upward mobility and strong education to combat plantation living. </p><p>During the 1920s, politicians in Barbados started a push for more self-government. As the 1940s–1950s rolled around, Barbados moved towards developing political ties with neighbouring Caribbean islands. By 1958 the <a href="/wiki/West_Indies_Federation" title="West Indies Federation">West Indies Federation</a> was proposed by the British government for Barbados and nine other Caribbean territories. The Federation was first led by the <a href="/wiki/Premier_of_Barbados" class="mw-redirect" title="Premier of Barbados">Premier of Barbados</a>, however the experiment ended by 1962. Later, Barbados tried to negotiate several other unions with other islands, yet it became likely that Barbados needed to move on. Subsequently, the island peacefully negotiated its independence with the British Government and the island became independent at midnight on November 30, 1966. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Post-independence">Post-independence</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Post-independence"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After the country became independent of the United Kingdom on 30 November 1966 sugar cane still remained a chief money-maker for Barbados. The island's politicians tried to diversify the economy from just agriculture. During the 1950s–1960s visitors from both Canada and the United Kingdom started transforming tourism into a huge contributor for the Barbadian economy. The man-made <a href="/wiki/Deep_Water_Harbour" class="mw-redirect" title="Deep Water Harbour">Deep Water Harbour</a> port at <a href="/wiki/Bridgetown" title="Bridgetown">Bridgetown</a> had been completed in 1961, and thereafter the island could handle most modern oceangoing ships for shipping sugar or handling cargoes at the port facility. </p><p>As the 1970s progressed, global companies started to recognise Barbados for its highly educated population.

By 1975 the Barbadian dollar was changed to a new fixed / constant rate of exchange rate with the US$ with the rate being changed to present day US$1 = BBD$1.98 (BBD$1.00 = ~US$0.50). </p><p>By the 1980s a growing manufacturing industry was seen as a considerable earner for the Barbados economy.

Barbados entered into an agreement with the <a href="/wiki/International_Monetary_Fund" title="International Monetary Fund">International Monetary Fund</a> financial assistance after a long and hard period of negotiations between the IMF, the government of Barbados, labour unions and employers. This led to a protocol on wages and prices in 1993. This helped prevent an <a href="/wiki/Hyperinflation" title="Hyperinflation">inflationary spiral</a> and restored the island's international competitiveness thereby leading to a period of long-term economic growth of 2.7% between 1993 and 2000.<sup id="cite_ref-TwoIslands_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TwoIslands-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As one of the founding members, Barbados joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995. Following this, the Government of Barbados aggressively tried to make the Barbados economy fully WTO compliant. This led to the collapse of much of the manufacturing industry of Barbados during the late 1990s in favour of many companies like Intel and others moving to lower cost Asian economies. During the late 1990s more companies started to become interested in Barbados' offshore sector, until it over took sugar as the new chief money maker. In 1999–2000 the <a href="/wiki/Organisation_for_Economic_Co-operation_and_Development" class="mw-redirect" title="Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development">Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development</a> (OECD) "blacklist" was circulated with Barbados listed in error. The negative fallout stymied new investment into Barbados' offshore sector for nearly two years as Barbados' authorities acted swiftly successfully proving that Barbados' economy was regulated sufficiently to ward off financial criminal activity and that it was not a "tax haven" as charged, but instead a low-tax regime. </p><p>As the global recession hit in 2001, the offshore sector in Barbados slightly contracted further, thereby making tourism the new chief money maker, after having earlier eclipsed manufacturing and sugar cane. The Government of Barbados further changed legislation to transform the Barbados economy into one which fosters investment. This led to several new hotel developments. The government continues to try maintaining constraint from personal involvement in the Hotel activity and instead seeks private investment into the Barbados economy for future growth.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The GDP was composed of the following sectors: agriculture 6%, industry 16%, and services 78% (2000 est.) In 2001, it had a labor force of 128,500, of which 10% were in agriculture, 15% in industry, and 75% in services (1996 est.). The unemployment rate in 2003 was 10.7%, and the inflation rate in 2007 was 5.5%. The Barbadian government had estimated revenues of $847 million (including grants) in 2000, and expenditures of $886 million. The industrial production growth rate was -3.2%. </p><p>Offshore finance and informatics are important foreign exchange earners, and there is also a light manufacturing sector. The government continues its efforts to reduce the unacceptably high unemployment rate, which it met in the 1990s, encourage direct foreign investment, and privatise remaining state owned <a href="/w/index.php?title=Crown_corporations_of_Barbados&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Crown corporations of Barbados (page does not exist)">Crown corporations of Barbados</a>. </p><p>The main factors responsible for the improvement in economic activity include an expansion in the number of tourist arrivals, an increase in manufacturing, and an increase in sugar production.

Apart from self-sufficiency in milk and poultry, the limited agricultural sector means that Barbados imports large amounts of basic foods, including wheat and meat. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fishing">Fishing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Fishing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The fishing industry employs about 2,000 persons, and the fleet consists of more than 500 powered boats. The catch in 2000 was 3,100 metric tons. Flying fish, dolphin fish, tuna, turbot, kingfish, and swordfish are among the main species caught.

Roundwood production in 2000 totalled 5,000 cu m (176,500 cu ft), and imports amounted to 3,000 cu m (106,000 cu ft).

Today, approximately 10,000 Barbadians work in manufacturing. The electronics sector in particular was badly hit when the U.S. semi-conductor company, Intel, closed its factory in 1986. Except for traditional manufacturing—such as sugar refining and rum distilling—Barbados's industrial activity is partly aimed at the local market, which produces goods such as tinned food, drinks, and cigarettes. Many industrial estates are located throughout the island. A cement factory is located in St. Lucy. </p><p>Export markets have been severely damaged by competition from cheaper Caribbean and Latin American countries. But domestic manufacturing also faces serious potential problems, as trade liberalisation means that the government can no longer protect national industries by imposing high tariffs on imported goods. Thus, Barbadian manufacturers must compete with other regional economies with lower wage costs and other overhead. The other significant industrial employer is the petroleum sector. Oil deposits are located in the southern parishes, but oil has not been produced in commercial quantities. The island's one small oil refinery closed in 1998 and moved refining to Trinidad and Tobago, where labour and other costs are cheaper. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Construction">Construction</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Construction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A construction boom, linked to tourism and residential development, has assisted the recovery of a large cement plant in the north of the island that was closed for some years and reopened in 1997. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Tertiary_industries">Tertiary industries</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Tertiary industries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tourism">Tourism</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economy_of_Barbados&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Tourism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Tourism is Barbados's crucial economic activity and has been since the 1960s. At least 10 per cent of the working population (some 13,000 people) are employed in this sector, which offers a range of tourist accommodations from luxury hotels to modest self-catering establishments. After the recession years, tourism picked up again in the mid-1990s, only to face another slowdown in 1999. This drop was in part due to increasing competition from other Caribbean countries such as the Dominican Republic, and in part to a reduction in visits from cruise ships as they shifted to non-Caribbean routes or shorter routes such as the Bahamas. Cruise ship visitors totalled 445,821 in 1999, a reduction from 517,888 in 1997, but stay-over visitors rose to 517,869 in 1999, setting a new record. Overall, the country witnessed over US$700 million in tourism receipts in 1999. </p><p>A problem in Barbados is that tourist facilities are too densely concentrated on the south coast, which is highly urbanised, while the Atlantic coast—with a rugged shoreline and large waves—is not suitable for beach tourism. There are few large brand-name hotels, which makes marketing the island in the United States difficult. On the other hand, the absence of conglomerates and package tours results in more direct tourist spending among the general population. </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bathsheba,_Barbados_02.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg/180px-Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="240" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg/270px-Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg/360px-Bathsheba%2C_Barbados_02.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1944" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Bathsheba,_Saint_Joseph,_Barbados" class="mw-redirect" title="Bathsheba, Saint Joseph, Barbados">Bathsheba, Saint Joseph</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Barbados has numerous internationally known hotels.

Along the island's east coast, which faces the Atlantic Ocean, there are tumbling waves that are perfect for light <a href="/wiki/Surfing" title="Surfing">surfing</a>.

Costs in Barbados are higher than elsewhere in the Caribbean (although still only half of costs in the United States), but the island offers strong advantages such as a literate English-speaking workforce and location in the same time zone as the eastern United States.

He made the point during a recent reception at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica, which was hosted by him and the Honorary Consul of Barbados in Jamaica, Winston Bayley. It was the highlight of activities to celebrate Barbados' 40th anniversary of Independence. "My national improvement plan for the period 2005–2025 is that we should be successful in building a world-class society with a world-class economy, with a world-class social system and world-class infrastructure for the next generation of Barbadians," Arthur told his audience. He reminded them that Barbados already enjoyed free education at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels and that by 2020, the plan would be to give the University of the West Indies (Cave Hill Campus) all the land and financial capacity it needed to produce one university graduate per household within the time frame specified.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Nation+Newspaper&rft.atitle=World-class+society+by+2025%2C+says+Arthur&rft.date=2006-12-27&rft.aulast=R&rft.aufirst=P&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationnews.com%2Fstory%2F319373050456570.php&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AEconomy+of+Barbados" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-21"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-21">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBest2006" class="citation news cs1">Best, Tony (20 February 2006). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070930163807/http://www.nationnews.com/story/302972909568285.php">"Bajans high on list of wealthiest"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Nation_(Barbados)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Daily Nation (Barbados)">Nation Newspaper</a></i>.

For, according to a global survey conducted by The Economist, Barbados was 52nd on the list of the world's wealthiest nations as measured by their per capita income – gross domestic product and purchasing power parity – but among members of the Organisation of American States, only the United States, Canada and The Bahamas had higher levels of economic well-being in 2003 than Barbados. Barbados' per capita income, GDP, was put at just under US$10 000, less than a third of America's at US$37 240. In addition, Barbados' was much less than Canada's US$27 190, and the Bahamas' US$16 590. On the other hand, Barbados' level of wealth per person was more than Trinidad and Tobago's US$8 010, Mexico's US$6 050, and Chile's US$4 590.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Nation+Newspaper&rft.atitle=Bajans+high+on+list+of+wealthiest&rft.date=2006-02-20&rft.aulast=Best&rft.aufirst=Tony&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationnews.com%2Fstory%2F302972909568285.php&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AEconomy+of+Barbados" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-22"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-22">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://gisbarbados.gov.bb/download/minimum-wage-national-and-sectoral-minimum-wage-order-2021/#">"Minimum Wage (National and Sectoral Minimum Wage) Order, 2021"</a>.
