The Bahamas Development Bank (BDB)recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of driving economic growth and supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across the nation.
Commodore Raymond King, Commander of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF), attended the event, and his presence underscored the shared mission of the BDB and RBDF in safeguarding the Bahamian economy. While the BDB focuses on empowering local businesses and fostering national development, the RBDF plays a critical role in protecting The Bahamas’ vast maritime resources and territorial integrity. By safeguarding these vital assets, the RBDF ensures a stable environment that supports industries such as fisheries, tourism, and trade, enabling the BDB to continue its important work of creating opportunities and driving economic growth for Bahamians.
Under the leadership of Commodore King, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force is steadfast in its commitment to protecting our nation’s maritime wealth and territorial integrity. We will continue to stand resolute, ensuring a secure foundation for economic empowerment and national development.
