The Bahamas government says it won't put the lid on government spending on capital infrastructure in 2009.
The Bahamas business community suggested the government should scale back in light of the global economic crisis and the soft tourist market. Tourism is the Bahamas' number one industry. Bahamas real estate prices are more or less holding steady, except for overpriced real estate listings.
State Minister for Finance Zhivargo Laing said the government knows what's sustainable and will work with those targets.
