A team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) visited Barbados from November 7-21, 2017 to conduct the agency's annual Article IV consultation. During the visit, the IMF team, led by Judith Gold, met with Government officials, members of the opposition, the Central Bank of Barbados, and representatives from the social partnership. Following the visit, they produced the Staff Report for the 2017 Article IV Consultation.
In May, the IMF also issued a press release summarizing its findings.
