The rate of retail price inflation in the U.S. in September 2024 was 2.4%. The rate of retail price inflation in the Canada in September 2024 was 2.7%.

With retail price inflation in Bermuda being only 1.8%, once again the rate of retail price inflation in Bermuda is lower than that of any of our 3 main trading partners, from which we obtain 90% of all goods imported.

Most economists would consider that an impossible thing to do without the government subsidising the cost of importing goods.

Has anyone received payment from the Bermuda Government for importing goods that otherwise have nothing to do with the Bermuda Government?

Amazing maths, and how convenient with an election in the next two weeks.
