Price Controls or Red Tape | Bermuda News

The government’s new Cost of Living Commission Amendment Bill aims to slash grocery prices through price caps, but critics warn it could cripple businesses, reduce consumer choice, and even lead to job losses. While officials claim the bill is just for data collection, opponents say it grants ministers unchecked power to control prices — a move that contradicts their own pro-competition stance. They argue better solutions lie in repealing the sugar tax, cutting foreign currency fees, and lowering shipping costs — not top-down price controls that risk stifling the very market they claim to protect.
