Two lenses, one set of cash flows. The global lens adds the full Bahamas country risk premium, the return an international investor would require. The domestic lens starts from a Bahamas government bond and adds no country premium, the return a local investor, restricted by exchange controls from freely investing abroad, actually faces. The gap between the two values is that country risk premium.
