The Bahamas Investment Climate
The Bahamas is an archipelago of more than 700 islands and 2000 cays. At its closest point The Bahamas is only 45 miles from the coast of Florida, United States of America (USA). Independence from Great Britain was gained in 1973. The large majority of the population resides on the island of New Providence, where the nation’s capital Nassau is located, and in Freeport on the island of Grand Bahamas. There are approximately 15 major inhabited islands with smaller settlements are scattered over the Family Islands archipelago.
-
The most attractive and investor friendly features are that The Bahamas offers potential investors a stable democratic environment, relief from personal and corporate income taxes, timely repatriation of corporate profits, and proximity to the USA with frequent air and sea travel, cutting edge communication links, and a good pool of skilled professionals.
-
The Bahamas is a member of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), Canada’s CARIBCAN Program, and the European Union’s Economic Partnership Agreement and is poised to become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2014.
-
The Bahamas officially welcomes foreign investment in tourism, banking, agricultural and industrial areas that generate local employment, especially white-collar or skilled jobs. The vast majority of successful foreign investments, however, have remained in the areas of tourism and banking. Nevertheless, in the wake of high energy costs, the Government of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (GCOB) is reviewing proposals for alternative energy sources. This is expected to create opportunities for foreign direct investment in the energy industry. The Government reserves retail and wholesale outlets, most construction projects, and many small businesses exclusively for Bahamians.
-
The Bahamas provides good basic infrastructure for businesses. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has pre-clearance facilities in both Nassau and Freeport, offering ease of travel for tourists and businesspersons travelling to and from the United States.
