Bottom Line magazine on Bermuda's economy, which is available free of charge from today throughout the Island.

Although focussing heavily on Bermuda's first industry-organised insurance conference, the 76-page colour publication also contains several stories on the local business community.

The courier, hotel and restaurant industries are all covered in this latest edition, as well as profiles on Mr. Charles Vaughan-Johnson, who is due to take over as president of the Bank of Bermuda next year, and Attorney-General Mr. Jim Hannam.

And if you've ever wondered what the Consumer Price Index is or how it works, then all will be revealed in this issue of The Bottom Line, which is a publication of The Royal Gazette 's subsidiary, Crown Communications.

The Bottom Line has a print run of 6,500 copies, of which 300 are being distributed to the Bermuda Insurance Symposium, with the rest available in stores throughout the Island.
