In light of Government registering a primary surplus of $255.5 million for the first three months of the fiscal year, which started in April, Kemar Stuart is again calling on government to provide an ease to Barbadians in the Garbage and Sewage Contribution (GSC) levy.At the same time, he believes Government could do more in the area of capital investment to help spur economic growth.Reacting to the latest economic review by the Central Bank earlier this week, he said “What’s clear is that the Barbados economy has been producing record level earnings for the government. The recording of a primary surplus of $255 million indicates the availability of excess funds [and] this is adequate financial resources to grant at least a six-month reduction to the garbage and sewage tax to reduce pressure on the local front,” said Stuart.
