Independent data authority to be established

Barbados is moving to establish an Independent Statistics and Data Analytics Authority. Minister of Industry, Innovation, Science and Technology, Marsha Caddle says it will assist the Government in its planning. She shared some insight during the World Governments Summit - an annual that brought together leaders in government for a global dialogue about governmental processes and policies. The minister was among the panel in the United Arab Emirates for a discussion titled, 'Digital Government: A Dream for Some, a Reality for Others'. Minister Caddle says the poly-crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, gave Barbados an advantage as it moves to digitise Government.
