Skip to content Welcome Comments Policy Send Confidential Message ... Peter Allard Further Machinations Contained In The Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary Saga Barbados Government Maybe Selling Barbados National Bank Shares Below Premium Posted on October 24, 2010 by David 51 Comments Tony Hoyos A. Freeman The resignation of Tony Hoyos from the Board of Directors of the Barbados National Bank (BNB) should should concern Barbadians. Hoyos’ letter of resignation was posted on Peter Boyce’s Facebook Page earlier today. A full page statement was posted in the local press today by Republic Bank (BNB’s parent company) signalling it will be making an offer to buyout the remaining shareholders in BNB. An article also appeared in the Trinidad press yesterday. Currently Republic Bank Limited (RBL) owns 65.13% of BNB, the government of Barbados 28% and individuals 7% round out the ownership. Hoyos makes a few assertions in his letter of resignation which should make Barbadians take interest. When majority interest in BNB was sold to RBL in 2003 many Barbadians cried we were not given enough time to buy into the deal. Many years later Barbadians still become emotional at the thought of our national bank under Trinidadian ownership. The Late Prime Minister David Thompson echoed the feelings of Barbadians by making the hollow statement in 2008 that Barbados should look to to repurchase BNB from RBL. Barbadians have a chance to make their voices heard second time around. If RBL wants to buyout the remaining 35% shares in BNB they should be made to pay a premium. No doubt the RBL offer of $5.57 is influenced by the fact the government of Barbados is currently labouring under a serious cashflow-debt burden problem. It would be a shame if Barbadians allowed RBL to grab our family treasure at a steal, again. All Barbadians need to get involved in this discussion, the 28% shares owned by the government of Barbados means we the PEOPLE are owners of a significant stake of the BNB pie. By all means sell your minority interest but it must be at a premium.

20. Barbados - Government And Politics Caribbean Islands Table of Contents The Governmental System. At independence in November 1966, Barbados formally adopted the Westminster parliamentary system of government http://countrystudies.us/caribbean-islands/89.htm

Government and Politics Caribbean Islands Table of Contents The Governmental System At independence in November 1966, Barbados formally adopted the Westminster parliamentary system of government, with a governor general representing the British monarch. Rights and privileges accorded to the governor in 1652 by Britain formed the basis for the Constitution of 1966, which provides for a bicameral parliamentary system headed by a prime minister and cabinet. Under the Constitution, Parliament consists of the British monarch, represented by the governor general, the Senate, and the House of Assembly. The governor general is appointed by the monarch and serves at the monarch's pleasure. Although the governor general must act in accordance with the advice of the cabinet or one of its ministers, the governor general has considerable influence and is responsible for appointing judges, commissioners, and senators and for voting in the Senate if there is a tie. The governor general presides at all meetings of the Privy Council for Barbados, an appointed body whose duties include the right to review punishments and grant pardons. Executive authority in Barbados rests with the governor general, the prime minister, and a cabinet of at least five ministers. The prime minister is by far the most powerful figure in the executive and within the cabinet. The prime minister chooses the cabinet ministers and may dismiss them at will. The cabinet, which is responsible to Parliament, is the principal instrument of policy and is charged with direction and control of the government, but the personality, style, and popularity of the prime minister largely determine the direction of government.
