Country Report Bermuda 4th Quarter
The Economist Intelligence Unit, October 2012, Pages: 21
An election is due by February 2013 but is likely to be called in December by Paula Cox, the leader of the governing nationalist Progressive Labour Party (PLP). The opposition One Bermuda Alliance (OBA) is leading in voter polls.
Despite the centre-right OBA's poll lead, the Economist Intelligence Unit expects the election to be very closely contested. Even if the OBA wins an absolute majority of the votes, it may well lack a legislative majority.
Rising debt-service costs will weigh on the public finances in 2013-14 and beyond. Financing constraints will reduce capital spending but some priority projects will advance.
