Business leaders will get an opportunity to learn more about the government’s Budget for the coming year at the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce’s annual Budget Breakfast on Monday.

Bob Richards, the finance minister, will be at the event to talk about the Budget and to answer questions.

Mr Richards is due to reveal the Budget in the House of Assembly on Friday.

The breakfast will be at the Hamilton Princess and is being held in association with sponsors PwC, the professional services firm. It will feature a panel discussion format moderated by Arthur Wightman, head and insurance leader of PwC Bermuda.

“The moderator will introduce our panellists and each one will have ten minutes to provide the audience with their analysis of the numbers,” said Kendaree Burgess, Chamber executive director.

“Our guests will be invited to submit questions in advance and on the morning of the breakfast, and it is expected that the moderator will then lead a very lively question and answer session.”

Meanwhile, Mr Wightman said: “A larger than usual turnout is anticipated for the annual event as the business community looks forward to hearing more from the minister. We expect to have an informative and engaging discussion with our panellists.”

The breakfast will start at 8am, and the panel discussion will begin at 8.30am. Anyone interested in attending should contact Stephanie Lee slee@bcc.bm.
