Treasury Minister Eddie Teare is admitting ratepayers in the Isle of Man could be left with a hefty bill, as a result of the loss of the Island's AAA sovereign credit rating.
International agency Standard and Poor's downgraded the Isle of Man's status from AAA to AA+ in November.
Under a Treasury agreement with the Isle of Man Bank, the downgrade has triggered an increase in the rate of interest for local authority borrowing.
Mr Teare understands the concerns which have been expressed:
Green Lounge gets approval
Consumption passes open today
Product recall issued after asbestos found in sand
Unclear whether craft set is available in Isle of Man shops
Island set for 'Uber Eats style' delivery service
Hopes Dazzler will become 'centralised platform' for Manx eateries
