Key decision makers within the Government, regulators, funding
agencies, corporate and legal service providers, as well as private
sector financial technology (fintech) interests, came together
recently at the offices of Invest Barbados to chart the way forward
for the island’s growing fintech industry. The event,
which was hosted by the Barbados International Business Association
(BIBA) and Invest Barbados facilitated frank but fair discourse
between the industry and local authorities, particularly about the
country’s recently launched regulatory sandbox regime.
“The first joint BIBA/Invest Barbados fintech stakeholder
consultation was a resounding success. The meeting was a
collaborative forum in which the stakeholders discussed risk,
innovation and the opportunity to place Barbados at the forefront
of the fintech sector in the region. We are delighted to
confirm that we will be jointly hosting a series of further
stakeholder meetings to drive these initiatives
