The domestic financial system certainly could not supply those resources. (But one is tempted to ask why a small portion could not have been raised here). In terms of the capital market, the largest local currency, private sector issue in the domestic capital market was $ billion in 2005 for TSTT.
In terms of foreign currency issues, the largest issue was $ million for the Trans Jamaica Highway in 2004, followed by $ million for the Government of Barbados in 2009. The Petrotrin transaction in 2009 clearly shows that the required capital could have been raised on the local market at a lower interest cost (Table IV).
