Domestic developments for October were dominated by the passage of Hurricane Matthew, which resulted in significant damage to both private and public sector infrastructure in the main centres of New Providence and Grand Bahama, according to the Monthly Economic and Financial Developments for October 2016 published by The Central Bank of The Bahamas.
