NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Investment Chester Cooper recently touted billions of dollars in projects he says are slated for next year.
Zhivargo Laing, the executive director of the Government Public Policy Institute at the University of The Bahamas, says there’s potential for more. This is, if we can be more aggressive with our investment promotions.
