BarbadosÂ’ GDP (PPP) is projected at $6.7 billion in 2025. Tourism is the economic cornerstone, contributing nearly 40% of GDP, with luxury resorts and beaches drawing visitors. The PPP adjustment accounts for a high cost of living, moderating GDP figures. Financial services and rum exports also play roles, but the economy is vulnerable to global tourism fluctuations and hurricanes. Recent reforms aim to diversify into renewable energy and digital services, though high public debt and limited resources constrain progress. Barbados focuses on sustainable tourism to bolster growth.
