Barbados's Attorney General Dale Marshall
Barbados's Attorney General Dale Marshall on Thursday described the United Kingdom government listing the island as a high-risk country with respect to money laundering and the financing of terrorism as unfortunate and disappointing, but not surprising.
Barbados was placed on the list even as UK officials acknowledged that authorities have made efforts over the last few years to strengthen anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism regimes.
Mr. Marshall said the UK's use of the term high-risk is without merit.
Jamaica and the Cayman Islands were the other two Caribbean countries placed on the list.
