Jason Hayward, Minister of Economy and Labour for Bermuda, announced the government is preparing a digital identity framework, initiating a Request for Supplier Qualifications for a public-private partnership model to implement the system.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decline in local businesses coincided with the introduction of Bermuda’s corporate income tax, which applies a 15 per cent levy to profits of multinational groups with global revenues exceeding €750 million. The exploration of a digital ID framework and changes to job categories signal significant regulatory shifts in the territory.
