Peter Goudie
Peter Goudie serves as the head of the labour division at the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers Confederation (BCCEC). He has recently been vocal about the potential economic impacts of a proposed US fee on Chinese-made ships, warning that such a levy could lead to increased costs for Bahamian imports and exacerbate inflation in the Bahamas. Goudie argues that the fee would not only harm local businesses and consumers but also negatively affect US exporters serving the Caribbean.
