Climate ‘Ripe’ for Caribbean Investment, says Bahamian PM Christie

Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of The Bahamas the Rt. Hon. Perry Christie heralded the theme that the time is right for Caribbean investment, and that “good news” is on the horizon, with respect to the state of affairs of Caribbean economies.

“This year, there has been more resilience seen in those economies in the region with rebounding tourism, which has been supported by a rejuvenated US economy, lowered fuel prices and an improved investment climate,” Prime Minister Christie said during an address at the Caribbean Investment Summit, in London, England, on Wednesday, September 10, 2015.

“The climate is indeed ripe for inward investment in the Caribbean, which has re-doubled its efforts toward implementing energy and fiscal reforms, promotion of investment incentives, strengthening of compliance frameworks and continued redress of social ills in the wake of the global economic crisis.”
