Natural health products such as CBD oil are considered micracle products and are proving they are worth their price because of the healing and pain relief they are providing. While the world moves forward and enact legislation to support the use on these products, the Bahamas ambiguous position at this stage of the game is not helpful and maybe even deadly to the people who these products can help. This is a wave that is sweeping the world so government needs to finalize its official position and local pharmaceutical companies need to just accept this new reality.
From a touristic point of view the Bahamas will be affected by the trump tarrif increases on Chinese made products, American citizens will have on average $2500 less in disposable. income in their pockets so travel will be less of a priority. If the Iranian situation gets out of hand and war breaks out, every country economy will be affected negatively. With all the fire power trump is sending to the middle east anything is possible.
The new providence road improvement program caused many businesses to fail and some have never restarted because of the recession.It may not have been as bad but the change in direction for traffic on Blue hill road, market street and even bay street east of east street along with popularity of the marathon mall can all be to blame. A good incentive for the economy would be for the government to reduce tarriffs on all imported cars to 10% in the upcomming budget but the motor dealers associations will cry foul as they seek to protect their bottom line.Small bussiness developement is going to be the key for continued growth because the likes of Baha Mar will now come around any time soon.
BPL new generators have arrived and are at the container port, Installation will be completed in 3 - 4 months. Power outages will be a thing of the past.Staff at the post office are operating at their new offices in the TC Mall this week. Thats what you call getting results. Opposition MPs need to sit small and stop the babble about insignificent things
I hope homes valued under $100,000 in inner cities areas and homes built in those areas that are over 30 years old are are exempted from this new tax. God knows the poor cant take no more tax .
Ya time as an FNM MP is winding down McAlpine. They dont like your stance on many positions.. They want puppets who they can control. Continue to shock them on every position and prepare to run as an independent candidate next election.
****The government is in danger of “missing the forest for the trees”****
Spoken like a true PLP crony. Mr Smith.at least now we have transparency, prudent fiscal management, accountability and quarterly reporting not to mention the nations bills are being paid and the deficit mess you help create is being cleaned up.
Fine Carnival $100 million for dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of treated sewage in Bahamian waters along with more than 8,000 gallons of food waste.. This fine could help reduce the 2018/2019 budget revenue shortfall.
