AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Power Grid & Accountability: Former PM Hubert Minnis says BPL and BGC are “blaming Bahamians” for outages, dismissing calls to cut pool pump use as nonsense, while PLP leader Fred Mitchell accuses the FNM of trying to create anxiety over the energy crisis. Infrastructure Spending Scrutiny: Opposition Leader Michael Pintard demands an accounting after more than $265m was reportedly moved from the National Investment Fund, with the balance dropping from $265.3m (Dec 2025) to about $200,000 (March 2026). Energy Financing Risk: The IDB warns BPL’s fuel hedge expires in Dec 2026, and without a successor plan electricity costs could jump in 2027, hitting tourism competitiveness. Grid Upgrade Investment: BPL secured a critical $1m+ transformer from Egypt to stabilize supply for about a third of New Providence. Healthcare Funding & Partnerships: NHI CEO Christy Butler says diversified funding is needed as growth outpaces resources; meanwhile the Ministry of Health signed an MOU joining the Alliance for Primary Health Care in the Americas. Tourism & Business: The Bahamas Diaspora Association panel urged overseas Bahamians to turn global success into investment and entrepreneurship at home. Local Jobs: A ministry job fair targeted disabled Bahamians, following job readiness training. Sports Tourism: bdG Sports met the Tourism Ministry to advance events.
