However, GBC faced issues with its corresponding bank in receivership, preventing the transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Although the government holds no liability for the Morgan deposit, Browne stated that $1 million would be made available for constructing homes in Barbuda&#8217;s Luis Hill, with the credit extended to the Morgan Trust.
