politician Bahamas

Keith Bell is the Housing Minister of the Bahamas, known for addressing the challenges facing homeownership in the country. Recently, he acknowledged that foreign buyers are significantly driving up property values, making it increasingly difficult for Bahamians to afford homes. Bell pointed out the detrimental effects of the 1990s repeal of the Immovable Property Act, which facilitated foreign land purchases and contributed to soaring property prices. Under his leadership, the government is actively seeking solutions, including the introduction of new housing developments and programs aimed at easing the financial burden on first-time homeowners.
