The new President of the Barbados Economics Society, Simon Naitram, says Barbados is on the right track with its economic recovery and transformation plan for the most part but also believes what’s most urgently needed now are efforts to restore Barbados to a path of economic growth.

Mr Naitram was speaking to moderator Lisa Gayle on the Voice of Barbados call-in program Down to Brass Tacks, in the wake of the most recent update by the Central Bank which reported the economy contracted by 0.8 per cent last year and that economic growth will remain flat this year.

But he stressed the importance of economic growth.
