Jamaica just about a week ago put a ban on conch exports and fishing for it for one year.I hope we can enact policies to conserve and prevent the poaching of this resource.
Several questions were asked of the acting financial secretary last year June on facebook.He spends a lot of time there.Those questions were asked on behalf of a former senior FNM cabinet minister.What methodology was used to prepare the budget,what economic forecast models were used in preparing the budget and did an economic model done to see how the tax increses will affect the inflation rate?He said he will release the information and did not.The model looking at how the inflation rate will be affected by the tax increase should be done by the cCentral Bank.He nor Peter Turnquest know what is happening and more importantly how to solve it?
This year's budget is a disaster.There were several missteps by this government.The dismantling of the Revenue Enhancement Unit they met in place was one.That was done out of good old Bahamian pettiness and spite.Many of their revenue plans,there was push back to .The second home owners raised a fuss about increased taxes and they backed down.The web shop owners challenged their increased taxes and they relented.I was surprised about that.The new car dealers had their gripes about this budget.I spoke to somebody last year who was planning to start a business. He told me, he is unsure about it, there is too much uncertainty about this government's policies.
The government acceptance of the proposal of Global Ports Holding is one of their best decisions to date. Their proposal was the best of the three in my opinion.
The Bahamas needs good investigative business journalists.Some one commented some time ago that the Bahamian Brewery was going to give Commonwealth Brewery some stiff competition. Also Inbev,a Belgian company and global rival to Heineken took control of Anheuser-Busch.They were not going to allow their rival Heineken through 700 Wines and Spirits to distribute their product in the Bahamas.They are going to push their products aggressively in this market.
The majority of the persons at the ministry were appointed by this FNM government.The FNM transferred several deputy directors out of that ministry since assuming office.Why don't you tell everybody who Dr.Minnis promise the position of director of education to?
