The Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property office allows the public to perform a "Company Inquiry" for a fee of $5, though there is no information given about what data the inquiry would return or its format. http://www.caipo.gov.bb/site/index.php/fees/article/24-company-inquiry

The office makes available a very limited free internet search facility, which allows the user to search for or browse through the names of registered companies and view registration numbers and dates. However, the database is not regularly updated and is not meant to be used as a substitute for a paid search of the official records. http://www.caipo.gov.bb/site/index.php/search/search-our-database/

The Barbados Meteorological Services operates as a self-contained department within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Its basic public interest functions are funded by the Barbados Government. It gives a forecast of temperature, precipitation and wind for one day. http://www.barbadosweather.org/

99 Government Spending


In the past the government of Barbados seems to have collected the required information but the financial statements on the government website have not been updated since 2013.

It is therefore not possible to say if the data exists or not, but given that it's two fiscal periods behind this gets marked as non-existing.
