Government of Bermuda

What Government of Bermuda does

The Government of Bermuda is the self-governing administration of a British Overseas Territory, operating under the Bermuda Constitution 1968 with a ministerial Cabinet led by the Premier. It serves Bermuda's resident population, local businesses, visitors, and a significant international business community anchored in re/insurance, fintech, and emerging space/satellite activities. Core products and services include the new unified digital portal at www2.gov.bm (centralized citizen and business transactions), the Statistical Reporting Platform (GDP, CPI, employment, tourism data), the CITV government television broadcaster, the Shorelink public transportation app, and the National Space Strategy program offering satellite filing, earth station, and space insurance infrastructure. Underlying technology includes a digital government services platform and a planned migration of wages, merchant payments, and government fees onto the Stellar blockchain network, alongside new high-capacity subsea cable connectivity (Google's Nuvem, 384Tbps) to mainland Europe.

The Government of Bermuda's business model is tax-and-fee funded rather than commercial: revenue is collected through import duties, payroll taxes, service fees (marriage licences, birth certificates, work permits, charity registrations), and international business and licensing activity overseen by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Distribution is direct-to-citizen via the digital portal, physical ministries across Hamilton, Paget, Devonshire, and other parishes, CITV, and formal social media channels. Strategic posture in 2025-2026 is defined by three execution vectors — becoming the world's first fully onchain national economy (Stellar partnership), establishing Bermuda as an Atlantic digital/subsea hub (Google cables), and extending the jurisdiction's footprint in space/satellite services under the National Space Strategy 2020-2025.
