Bridgetown.
Former president of the Barbados Economic Society (BES) Anthony Johnson says the country runs the risk of talking itself into deeper economic problems and creating conditions for self defeat.
Johnson is convinced that continued undermining of key institutions such as the Central Bank of Barbados and their leaders only add to the current problems.
In an interview with Trakker news, Johnson said:"Although our leaders may come with a workable plan, if the actors in the field do not find some confidence in the ability of these variables to impact positively .If they continue to be undermined then that enforces the down turn in consumer and investor confidence".
So the whole thing becomes self defeating, he added.
