Bahamas Tables 2026-27 Budget With New Foreign-Investment Compliance Unit

1 min read

The government tabled its 2026-27 Draft Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure, alongside plans for a Foreign Direct Investment Compliance Unit to audit concession agreements and a single, modern investment-incentives framework. The IMF projects growth near 2.8 percent with central government debt still around 74 percent of GDP.

What this means for you: returnees and diaspora investors should expect tighter scrutiny but clearer rules on concessions; read the incentives framework before structuring a property or business deal.
