Budget Estimates 2020-2021

The debate on the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure Debate (for the fiscal year 2020-2021) commenced on Monday, February 24th 2020 in the House of Assembly of Barbados. 

Since taking office in 2018, the new Mottley administration has brought new life to the presentation of the Estimates by allowing "strangers" (in this case civil servants) of Parliament to enter into the "belly" of Parliament and to face policymakers' questions and views on the proposed Estimates.
