Barbados budget 2023/24: Upward onward Bajan excellence - 2030
On 14 March 2023, the Hon. Mia Amor Mottley S.C. M.P., Prime Minister of Barbados and Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs
and Investment, in the Budgetary Proposals and Financial Statement 2023, outlined her strategic vision for Barbados taking us to
2030. The Prime Minister envisioned a Barbados where excellence is a part of the culture, a habit. Barbados is striving to be a
world-class, global centre and hub.
The Prime Minister noted her administration, upon coming to office in 2018, immediately embarked on its Mission Critical
campaign to save the country, its reputation and currency. Having delivered on Mission Critical, Barbados quickly faced Mission

Hurricane Elsa, and the ashfall experienced as a result of the eruption of La Soufriere volcano, all occurring between 2020 and
2021.
