DeLisle Worrell: What is meant by productivity in services, and why it matters for Barbados’ economic future Opening remarks by Dr DeLisle Worrell, Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, at the Central Bank of Barbados week of excellence, Bridgetown, 25 February 2013. *  *  *  The economy of Barbados is fuelled by foreign exchange.
