Bridgetown.
The recommendation by the International Monetary Fund to the Government to cut its wage bill does not have to equate to the lost of jobs in the civilservice.
This is the assessment of Ryan Straughn, the president of the Barbados Economic Society, he told Trakker News measures to reduce the civil service could include enticing workers to retire early or utilizing skilled public servants in the capacity of entrepreneurs or consultants.
"This would prevent Government from being locked into this recurring expenditure.it would also give skilled civil servants an opportunity to go into the private sector in Barbados and within the region", Straughn said.
