Borrowing plan

FY2026/27: planned borrowing, not an outturn.

Tables 2–3 report B$1,024.0 million in planned gross financing needs, excluding Treasury bill/note rollovers. The projected B$223.1 million overall surplus is intended for a cash buffer. Neither figure is a realised result.

Domestic borrowingsB$643.5M
External borrowingsB$380.5M
Bahamian-dollar bondsB$387.2M
Domestic foreign-currency loansB$256.3M

Keep the scope clear

Domestic borrowing includes B$387.2 million in Bahamian-dollar bonds and B$256.3 million in foreign-currency loans; the lower rows are components, not extra funding. Table 3 excludes Treasury bill/note rollovers and does not represent every borrowing transaction. The final funding mix and timing can change.

Document dated June 2026; official index publication: July 8, 2026.

Read the 2026/27 Borrowing Plan

Source discrepancy: this summary follows Tables 2–3. Nearby narrative currency components sum to a different amount; they describe Bahamian-dollar versus internal foreign-currency/external funding, rather than the domestic/external split. The GDP percentages also differ. No official correction has been verified.

Government securities

Understand the instrument before reading an issue notice.

Central Bank publications describe the securities and their issue process. This page explains those documents and does not take bids, handle money or recommend a purchase.

Bahamas Registered StockBRS

Coupon and yield are different

BRS is Government debt, despite the name “stock”. A coupon describes interest on face value; a quoted yield depends on price and the security’s terms. Read the issue prospectus for maturity and payment details.

Read the Central Bank explainer
Treasury billsT-bills

Short-term debt issued through tenders

Check each term sheet for the offered tenor, tender date, settlement and maturity. The October notice includes 91-, 182- and 364-day bills, so the general explainer’s two-tenor description is not exhaustive.

Reading a prospectusTerms matter

A listed amount is not your allocation

The October BRS prospectus allows issue amounts to grow or shrink and describes allocation limits. A stated minimum or published calendar does not promise an allocation or a resale price.
