Fake News. I'm not a banker, but it seems more than likely that the reason for the international interest and demand in our bonds was due to the large interest (6%) being paid, not due to the Bahamas being in great fiscal shape.
Minnis is a great guy. He just is not a change agent. I would not be surprised if five years from now the Bahamas is very similar to the way he found it (but more in debt of course).
I fear more dissapointment is in store for us Bahamians. Minnis never was cut out for PM. We just wanted Christie out. Bran was the right man for the post.
I would be fine with Obama for PM of the Bahamas also. We need a savy global player to completely restructure our economy from bottom to top, not these chicken in the bag leaders.
I disagree about the US politicians being morons Old Fort. Trump has been great for the US economy. I would be thrilled to have Trump as PM in the Bahamas to get our economy moving.
If you don't have industry, you don't borrow period. Otherwise, all borrowing simply goes to maintaining socialism, which is a "no win" governmental model. No industry (manufacturing etc.), no borrowing. Get it through your thick heads already.
I have never seen something so beautiful (the Bahamas) screwed so royally. Even black people must admit, the black people that have run this country into the ground since majority rule are a disgrace to black people the world over. Bahamians, you make the African race look bad. Do us a favor and stop seeking public office.

Minnis is a Chevy truck: stable, reliable etc. We were looking for and needed a Tesla Model 3, however.

fake news. If anything qualifies as fake news, stating that BOB has made a profit after receiving hundreds of millions of tax payer funds does.
