The Prime Minister, Dr Hubert Minnis, pictured, will deliver the keynote address at the 29th Bahamas Business Outlook (BBO) conference when it takes place on January 16, 2020, at the Baha Mar resort.

The conference's theme is A new era: Resilience in the face of Vulnerability. Joan Albury, founder of the seven-island Business Outlook series and president of TCL Group, said: "The Bahamas Business Outlook series is dedicated to bringing together key players from across the economic and social spectrums to give insight into the challenges and opportunities of the New Year.

"Many in the business community take away information gleaned from the forum to assess and trim their plans for the year. It is always important to learn of the Government's plans for the year and beyond, and who better to hear from than the government leader?

"We are very grateful that Prime Minister Minnis has confirmed his intention to participate on January 16. We will announce the rest of a very carefully selected speaker slate very shortly."

Mrs Albury added: "To us at TCL Group, the 2020 Bahamas Business Outlook will be the most important to date, hence the theme A new era: Resilience in the face of Vulnerability. The entire world is moving into a new era where global trade trends are bound to bring some significant changes.

"Because of the profound impact of Hurricane Dorian, the changes for us are likely to be radical. However, with change comes opportunity and we Bahamians have demonstrated remarkable resilience over the years, especially when the chips are down."
