There is already a cap on the interest rates charged by commercial banks for consumer loans in the Bahamas. The cap albeit very high has been in place for many years.
To call an entity that has 25% Bahamian ownership and over 1000 Bahamians as shareholders as not Bahamian is ignorance at its height. Monday morning when BISX opens at 10a.m. buy all the shares of Commonwealth Brewery you want and learn the reality of how Bahamian it is. Is Mr. Robinson offering shares to the general Bahamian public, or is Bahamian Brewery for that matter? The answer is no. So should the Bahamian public pay a higher price to enrich one man or save money and benefit over 1000 Bahamians? This sense, and demand for entitlement is ridiculous and greedy.
What a sense of entitlement these retailers have. God forbid the customer gets a lower price, Mr. Robinson. Commonwealth Brewery has every right to reduce its prices and maximize sales and shareholder value, so what if you have lower sales for a week or two out of the year.
All is talk until we see police officers prosecuted and imprisoned for their crimes in the Bahamas, instead of as usual being swept under the rug. Same for the politicians, many of whom are constantly looking for shingles.
More hot air. The corruption is staggering with little or no accountability. We need a foreign independent investigation. Anything short of that is a TOTAL waste of time.

Agreed. Fire, liquidate, and take funds that would have been squandered on bananasair and subsidize essential inter-island routes.

Commonwealth Brewery is a Bahamian entity, it is 25% owned by Bahamians . NIB is a particularly large shareholder too.
