- The Pinelands Creative Workshop is helping to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to explore entrepreneurship.
The organisation hosted a two-day workshop at the UWI Global Campus in The Pine, bringing together mentors and speakers to teach participants the fundamentals of starting and running a successful business.
Speaking at the workshop, project assistant Tremaine Murray said the initiative was developed in response to requests from students who expressed an interest in learning more about entrepreneurship during an earlier workshop.

- Fortress Fund Managers’ suite of fixed-income and equity funds remains well-positioned to deliver “stronger returns” for its investors.
Portfolio Manager Jabari Banfield, in describing the assessment, says higher interest rates mean lower asset values for both equities and fixed-income investments.
This is despite headwinds caused by an increase in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve in September 2026, resulting in mixed performance for Fortress’ funds in the third quarter and predominantly higher gains over the same period last year.
The portfolio manager says that while these higher rates had created a more challenging backdrop, they had not altered the quality of the companies in which Fortress invested or its long-term investment discipline.

- Description
- Barbados has crossed a pivotal juncture in the development of financial cooperatives with the formal introduction of the Protection of Depositors Act 2026.
The observation is contained in a message from President of the Barbados Co-operative and Credit Union League, Kemar Cumberbatch, to mark International Credit Union Day.
He says that, for the League, access to deposit insurance was not a privilege bestowed on the movement, but a recognition of fairness and the contribution of indigenous financial institutions to Barbados’ economic and social development.
The President says that, in a constantly changing global environment, the co-operative movement challenges us to pursue institutional sustainability while ensuring that the needs and ambitions of members remain central to its purpose.

- Parents are being urged to lead with love and compassion as they guide their children, while being more understanding of their individual experiences.
The advice comes from Chief Executive Officer of Supreme Counselling for Personal Development, Shawn Clarke, who delivered a lunchtime lecture at St Mary’s Church today.
Speaking on how parents and the church can bring about positive change among today’s youth, Mr Clarke stressed the importance of paying close attention to children’s behaviour, noting that it can be a good indicator of what a child is feeling.
He encouraged parents to approach their children’s mistakes with patience and grace rather than judgement.
He adds that while there are important lessons children must learn, parents are being advised not to embarrass them or pull them down.

During debate on the Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2026, Senator Alleyne emphasises the importance of consumer protection in an environment where online offers can reach people directly through their phones and computers.

- The Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill 2026 is being debated in the Senate.
Leader of Government Business Lisa Cummins says the Bill seeks to modernise Barbados’ legislative framework and bring the country into line with international standards for regulating virtual assets.
She says compliance is critical to protecting Barbados from future financial blacklisting and safeguarding its access to international capital markets.
Senator Cummins says the Bill also seeks to protect people from fraudulent investment schemes, while allowing room for innovation through a regulatory sandbox.
Opposition Senator Ryan Walters supports the need to protect consumers but warns that some international platforms could choose to stop doing business in Barbados if they consider the cost of compliance too high.
