"[Barbados] must produce goods and services which can be traded competitively in foreign markets. The heavy reliance on trade makes it necessary to develop policies which are responsive to the changing international environment. Since the early 1990s, Barbados' trade policy has become more open as a result of its own liberalisation programme, and in response to regional and international developments."
