This week on On the Record, host Jerome Sawyer goes on location to the 56th annual meeting of the Caribbean Development Bank to interrogate the strategic blueprints being forged for our region's future.

The episode also dives into the high-stakes global battle over climate liability as we explore the new fund dedicated to responding to loss and damage in vulnerable nations. Join us for this authoritative and candid inquiry into the achievements, failures, and urgent transformations required for the Caribbean citizenry.

DRIVING PROGRESS INSIDE THE 2026-2027 BUDGET / S10E18

On this week's episode of On the Record, host Jerome Sawyer is joined by macroeconomist Theres Turner Jones for an in-depth dissection of the Davis administration’s 2026-2027 national budget and its projected $223 million surplus. We explore the implications of the government's total acquisition of the Grand Bahama Power Company and what it could mean for energy costs across the islands. The discussion also tackles critical issues surrounding public service pension reform and the significant gaps in capital expenditure needed for national infrastructure. Join us as we look behind the macroeconomic figures to examine the everyday financial realities facing Bahamian families.
