This initiative, set to be funded by the Saudi Development Fund, encompasses several critical areas that promise to bring about substantial improvements to the nation.

Revamping infrastructure for a better future

Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Mottley, Barbados is gearing up for a major overhaul of its infrastructure. 

The focal points of this transformative endeavor include the modernization of water-borne facilities, the enhancement of housing conditions, the establishment of two cutting-edge polyclinics, and a much-needed upgrade to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

A commitment to progress

Prime Minister Mottley’s announcement came to the fore during a press conference held at the Grantley Adams International Airport after her return from the inaugural Saudi Arabia-CARICOM Summit.
