The Ministry of Finance s top official yesterday said he foresees no challenge over the Government meeting almost $1.5bn in debt principal repayments coming due within the next 12 months.
Marlon Johnson, the acting financial secretary, told Tribune Business there would be no issues when it came to The Bahamas meeting its sovereign obligations even though almost 18 percent of the Government s outstanding debt principal is to be redeemed over the next year.
The details were laid out in the 2020 Fiscal Strategy Report, tabled in the House of Assembly, which revealed that a substantial chunk of the Government s borrowings - $3.318bn or some 40.5 percent of the total $8.191bn - is due for repayment over the next five years.

Some $75.8m in unplanned COVID-19 assistance and previous lockdowns have forced the Government to target $200m in extra spending cuts over the next six months, it was revealed yesterday.
Senator Kwasi Thompson, the newly-appointed minister of state for finance, told the Senate that the Minnis administration is aiming to slash $100m apiece from both its capital and recurrent (fixed cost) spending after 2020-2021 first quarter revenues came in $68m below projections while spending soared.
Explaining that the cuts were essential to keep the Government on track for a record $1.327bn deficit, as forecast in the May Budget, Mr Thompson pledged: For the remainder of this fiscal year and over the immediate term, the Government will seek to maintain its current budget deficit target of no more than $1.3bn.
