Barbados economy continues to expand
The Central Bank of Barbados said the Eastern Caribbean nation's economy grew 3.7 percent during the first quarter of 2007.
Officials in Barbados attribute the growth to the continued strength of new construction in the country, which is up 5.4 percent.
The economy's growth is not as strong as last year, when first quarter growth reached 4.1 percent.
