NASSAU, Bahamas — A complete restructuring of the Ministry of Finance will be presented to Cabinet, aimed at moving the ministry beyond being administrational and operational to one that is more strategic and analytical, according to Financial Secretary Marlon Johnson, the Nassau Guardian reported April 17.
Johnson said this “retooling” of the ministry will allow it to do the kind of empirical work needed to support good policy.
“Very shortly the deputy prime minister will be putting forward to Cabinet a revised organization structure and looking to creating more opportunities for growth for existing staff, as well as to recruit additional talent into the Ministry of Finance,” Johnson said in an interview with Guardian Business.
“The restructuring isn’t really contingent or really to invite any kind of policy. The impetus for the organization is recognizing the ministry is thinking to move past being an administrational and operational entity, to one that is strategic and analytical in order to be able to do the kind of empirical work to support good policy. We recognize the need to modernize the Ministry of Finance and how it does business.” https://thenassauguardian.com/2019/04/17/restructuring-of-ministry-of-finance-to-be-presented-to-cabinet/
