Therese Turner-Jones is a prominent economist and former executive at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). She has been vocal about the potential economic repercussions of global trade tensions, particularly in the context of the US's tariff policies under former President Donald Trump. At a recent seminar hosted by the Organisation for Responsible Governance (ORG), she warned that The Bahamas must prepare for the possibility of a global depression reminiscent of the 2008-2009 economic crisis, emphasizing the significant risks posed to the Bahamian economy due to its reliance on the US market for tourism and imports.
