Understood. And, yes, per capital we are superior. Fair points.

Andrew, this is a very clear and cogent summary of the benefits - or lack thereof - of the existing FDI model. In particular, I support your assertion that The Bahamas has to become vastly more selective in the types of investments that we attract. And, we should severely reduce the amount of concessions liberally bestowed upon foreign investors. In fact, the UNCTAD report that you mentioned in your letter clearly outlines an inverse relationship between amount of quality foreign direct investment of a country and the concessions given - showing that, despite our (Bahamian government) beliefs, concessions are not as important a factor in making investment decisions.

I would quibble, just a bit, with the analysis that The Bahamas "has no peer" vis-a-vis FDI. On the contrary, we are almost middle of the pack (and trending downward!) in "quality FDI inflow, as measured by the UNCTAD report (2020). Incidentally, said report (2021), which the government and other private sector industry stakeholders tout as a measure of success, only measures us against, generally, other SIDS and does not, for example, compare us with Singapore, Estonia, and other small technologically driven countries. Regionally, Costa Rica, Brazil also outstrip us. We still have work to do.

Pleasure reading your letter.

Seriously, this is your take-away from this article. Idiot!

Seriously, Brent: you were too damned lazy to get the names of his children?

Reneldo still refuses to tell the readers the position that young Murray plays.

And, apparently, the sports editor doesn't know how to do his job.

You should be the last to talk, Mr. Very Large Glass House!

If you don't have the temerity to put your name behind something - particularly when you cowardly attack others - then you need to keep your opinions to yourself. Coward!

Can you provide the link where they said that please?

I tried to find it, but without success.

The man spent a whole article gushing about Shannendon Cartwright and you focus on one parenthetical sentence. Unbelievable.

Actually, in 1983, an opera was written about the tragic events of May 10. It is the seminal "Our Boys", written by the absolutely brilliant - and Bahamian! - Cleophas Adderley Jr.

The opera played at the Dundas in 1987 and 1998.
It remains the only opera to have ever been written and performed in the English-speaking Caribbean and, in my view, is the greatest piece of work every produced by a Bahamian.
