What about students who will be going off to school?
What about Credit/Debit card swipes.
Does the works minister want 500m in capital spending? Much of that will be imported materials.
Will the Pointe, Bahamar, Goldwynn resume building? Do they use their foreign entities to buy goods in FX and then send them in? Or will they order them in B$ and take the FX hit?
Similarly, NCP will soon start building. They are raising millions in USD, so maybe that will be for imported material?

The Elephant in the room is that you can only cut so much with few inflows. So do they start targeting normal purchases?

UK is not in the EU anymore and surprises surprise. Cayman has been blacklisted by the EU whereas the 242 is no longer.

thps says...

if you read the way it was negotiated it was not the UK but a local effort. Google.

Da news dere say the order was 200,000 and could have gotten 1/2 million but didn't need that much and are selling the excess like what the posted said. Google say they population is 65000+ not 80k.

One must give them credit. Hard to fault The Bahamas but it does show that its possible to do if you use all connections (like Obie).

Anyway, all means to get tests are welcomed. Obie, Duane, Doc , Cayman, whoever, however, as long as they work. Test, test and test some more.
