- Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Youth and Culture, Senator Shane Archer, says CARIFESTA 2025 delivered a $138 million economic boost, defending the festival as a national investment rather than a cost.
Speaking in the Senate, Archer said internal audits showed the event engaged more than 8 000 Barbadians, generated $1.5 million in artisan sales, and supported over 300 vendors. He said it also created jobs, trained technical workers, and delivered lasting infrastructure including the Newton Performing Arts Centre.
Dismissing criticism over budget overruns as “myopic”, Archer argued the festival revived a creative sector hit by COVID-19 and positioned Barbados as a producer and exporter of culture, not just a consumer.

At BSSAC last year, Bentham completed the sprint double in the Under-17 Girls 100m (12.32) and 200m (24.79). Meanwhile at the 2025 CARIFTA Games, Bentham narrowly missed out on the Under-17 Girls 200m final with a 25.05 clocking which placed her ninth overall.
However this year, Bentham has shifted her focus to the 200m and 400m and is reaping the benefits. Earlier in March at the National Junior Championships, Bentham won the Under-20 girls 400m in 54.53 seconds, dipping comfortably under the CARIFTA standard of 55.00 seconds.
