How many Russian banks operate in The Bahamas? How many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are held by Russian nationals in the Bahamas banking system? Will the Minister of Finance or the governor of CBOB address this issue? Or remain complicit by their silence?

A realistic portrayal of the facts concerning farming in this country rather than a rosy political one we usually hear about. The writer could have added the prohibitive cost of imported pest control and fertilizer, the scarcity of fresh water, and the very high cost of power and labour.

This legislation might well have been the crowning achievement of the Christie led PLP administration. That also tells you all you need to know about their governance.

The PI lighthouse should be entrusted to a non profit charity to restore and maintain it like has happened with the Elbow Cay Lighthouse at Hope Town. It should not go to any one individual who just wants to make money from it.

Now there you have a coincidence; Mr. Jones chooses PM Brave Phil Davis as his publication's Man of the year and then PM Phil Davis chooses Mr. Jones to this prestigious well paid political appointed.

Thank you, Ms, Greene, Well said.

It defies commonsense that investors would purchase 30 year Bahamas government bonds payable in Bahamian dollars. Quicker to just go buy a few hundred thousand Florida Lottery tickets.

This Royal visit is pretty much irrelevant to most every ordinary citizen. A little entertainment value perhaps. Thank goodness we have a decent Governor General again.

This PLP administration presently in power is just repeating a tactic taken from the corruption smeared Pindling government of the 1980's; blame the greedy merchants and pretend that the politicians are trying to rein in their greedy ways. It was total rubbish then and it is total rubbish now. Adam Smith's invisible hand dictates prices not our third world politicians.

Price control was brought in by the UBP government with good intentions. However it is is useless in keeping the overall price of groceries lower than the market dictates. If a wholesaler or grocery store can make less than it needs on rice or grits then they will have to make more on Mayonnaise and fresh vegetables.
