The conference serves as a forum for discussing issues which are critical to the development of the region’s financial and banking sector. This year, the discussions will focus on three sub-themes:
- Financial stability: defining, measuring and engendering;
- Recent developments in supervision and regulation; and
- Financial development and market structure: issues and outlook.
Mr Sean Albert, Vice President, Country Head – Caribbean East, the Bank of Nova Scotia; Mr Carl Hiralal, Inspector of Financial Institutions of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago; and Dr Winston Moore, Lecturer, Department of Economics of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus will present the papers.
