This probability is multiplied by a multiplier factor based on management’s professional judgement to derive the adjustment required to incorporate the forward-looking estimate. Since Barbados received a stable outlook for the period under assessment by Moody’s and the Central Bank of Barbados, the base case scenario was the most likely scenario. Out of the sensitivity analysis of nine forecasted states, a forward-looking adjustment of 4% was applied as at March 31, 2023.
