Central Bank opens debt exchange forum on Monday

The Central Bank of Barbados, in its capacity as exchange agent, will be hosting a debt exchange forum exclusively for holders of treasury bills, treasury notes and debentures outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

As part of its debt restructuring programme outlined last Wednesday, Government is offering to exchange existing government papers for new instruments.

The debt exchange forum will be held from Monday September 24 to Saturday September 29, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily at the Courtney Blackman Grande Salle, at the Central Bank.

Creditors will have the opportunity to get their questions and concerns addressed.

    1 or two percent may be chicken feed but may be a safer investment than high interest paying investments

    you can be dead and never see a penny.
    you could have died yesterday and still don't see a penny
    you could have died anytime before may 24th and still don't see a penny.

    Dlp could have been in power now and you still don't see a penny.

    I hope you don't die before you get back all that will be due to you

  • I will never forget this moment and who has done it to me.
    I could be dead in fifteen years and never get a penny. Thank you Mia.

  • I had a good thing going with BNB, then Owen sell it lock suck and barrel to T&T , who in turn just "pay me out". Leave me out in the desert to dry.

  • No Alex
    The only way to grow you money is to invest.

    For safety, don’t put ur eggs in one basket

    Usually when a company is shaky they offer a high interest rate

    Most of the time you see a height interest rate then you should know that you at taking a greater risk

    Bajans will get back their money but over a longer period and at a lower interest rate

    Just like the overseas creditors

  • Another nail in the coffin . This is part of the reasons Bajans don't invest. Every which way you turn , we always seem to get cxxk-suck.
