Barbados on a mission to strengthen the economy, PM says Article by May 23, 2021 Barbados is currently facing an important mission to strengthen the economy and safeguard livelihoods, Prime Minister Mia Mottle said Sunday. The Prime Minister said while the Government has done well in this regard since 2018, the task is an ongoing one. “The mission that faces Barbados is a mission that requires the majority of good thinking people, and people who are committed first and foremost, to protecting those who are most vulnerable and cannot carry themselves, to lift the flooring, but at the same time to excite the opportunities for those who believe that they can soar. That they can soar to the rest of the world, and not just here,” Mottley said.
