BARBADOS, 2014/03/08
The European Union says it is willing to provide BDS$100 million (One BDS dollar = US$0.50 cents) to Barbados in grant funding.
A statement issued following talks between Barbados and EU delegations, noted that the funds would become available once certain macro-economic and public finance criteria were fully met.
It said that BDS$65 million could become available to Barbados this year.
The European Union last year released BBD$28 million for the Barbados Human Resource Development Programme, while an extra BBD$15 million was provided through the Barbados Renewable Energy Programme, all in the form of non-reimbursable grants.
