Nassau, THE BAHAMAS – University of The Bahamas’ Government and Public Policy Institute (GPPI) will hold a first of its kind policy forum featuring four former Central Bank of The Bahamas Governors. The event, which will be held on Tuesday, 20th November at 7:00 p.m. in the Harry C. Moore Library and Information Centre Auditorium will focus on the topic ‘The Past, Present and Future of Monetary and Fiscal Policy.’

Monetary and Fiscal policy dominate concerns for all Bahamians as both impact the level of taxation Bahamians face, the degree of government's deficit spending, the country's national indebtedness and the extent to which Bahamians have the purchasing power to afford, maintain and improve their standard of living.
“Having clear, analytical discourse through people highly experienced in these matters allows GPPI to educate and expand the public's knowledge on such critical issues,” explains Mr. Zhivargo Laing, Senior Fellow and Executive Director of the Government and Public Policy Institute.
