Dr. Brown continues his media sweep in the UK, this time looking ill-at-ease on CNBC. It’s interesting how he continues to be marketed as “Prime Minister”.
When questioned about how Bermuda will respond to attacks from onshore tax and regulatory authorities, the Premier responded:
“I believe that if we have a President Obama, he will be sensitive to Bermuda, sensitive to the fact that international business is to a certain extent the lifeblood of Bermuda, and that we can find ways that are mutually beneficial.”
To which the announcer quipped:
“Umm, ok, that sounds like the stock PR answer.”
It’s not clear to me what the Premier hopes to achieve with these media appearances beside raising his personal profile. If the point is to position Bermuda in the face of the current economic and regulatory challenges, my view is that he is not clearly communicating Bermuda’s business value proposition.
Here are some substantive talking points from ABIR and the Ministry of Finance.
