  1. Celeste: are we going to squabble orver $2 or $3? The fact of the matter is that in three and one half years this reckless Government has taken this country into uncharted trecheous waters from where it will be difficult for us to return. In other words they have wrecked our way of life and in the process left us with a national debt which our great grand children will be obliged to inherit and you are attempting to come to their defence? You all should be ashamed.

    • @Truth:..I’m not coming to their defence at all. Read my post again – all I said was that it is an estimate. The debt is definately getting out of control..It appears that the govt. decided to borrow its way out of the recession….lets just hope the hole wasn’t dug too deep!

  2. Please ensure that you mention that this is an ‘estimate’ from the Nassau Insistute. The official debt figures can be found on the central Bank’s website..on Table 6.1 of the Quarterly Statistical Digest it stands at 3.957307 billion as at end June 2010. The debt for today may be higher or lower than the institutes’ estimate. I don’t have a problem with them estimating the debt..I just need you guys to know that it is indeed an ESTMATE only. central bank link:http://www.centralbankbahamas.com/download/087567200.pdf

    • Sorry for the errors! this is what should have been written: Please ensure that you mention that this is an ‘estimate’ from the Nassau Institute.

    • You should note we are reporting figures as at yesterday, September 18th, 2010. What the Central Bank reported would have been the debt record as at May or nearer to the first quarter. We we are reporting is at the current date.

      Jr. Minister of Finance agreed with a question put by Patty Roker this afternoon, which confirmed the Nassau Institute’s report that the debt had reached ABOVE THE $4 Billion mark.
