Mr Speaker, I am grateful for your indulgence to present this lengthy statement this morning. It is an honour to rise today on behalf of the Goverment, in our last sitting of 2022, to provide an Economic & Fiscal Update to this Honourable House and the people of Bermuda. This statement will cover the latest report from the Fiscal Responsibility Panel, the Government’s mid-year financial performance, and the Government’s Pre-Budget Report tabled moments ago.
