Foreign Currency: BB+/Stable/B — Local Currency: BB+/Stable/B
OVERVIEW
• Bahamian political institutions strongly responded to societal priorities in the 2017 election.
• We expect the new administration’s solid mandate to facilitate economic and debt stabilization, after significant deterioration.
• We are affirming our ‘BB+/B’ long- and short-term sovereign credit ratings on The Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
