In a significant move aimed at enhancing the quality of life for Barbadians, Prime Minister Mia Mottley has unveiled a comprehensive US$150 million development plan. 

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.
