Nassau| Former Central Bank of The Bahamas Governor and former Cabinet Minister James H. Smith has died.
Smith passed away earlier this evening. His death was confirmed by Prime Minister Philip Davis, who described him as one of the country’s finest sons and a national treasure.
Davis said he was profoundly saddened by Smith’s passing, adding that The Bahamas had lost a figure whose contributions would be felt across public life and the country’s financial institutions.
The Prime Minister said Smith belonged to the generation that helped build the institutions of an independent Bahamas.
A trained economist who studied in Canada before returning home to serve, Smith dedicated his career to the stewardship of the nation’s finances.
Davis said he carried out that responsibility with integrity, prudence and a quiet sense of duty.
