The review – which will begin at 8:00 p.m. – will be presented by the Governor of the ECCB, Sir K. Dwight Venner, and according to an ECCB notice, it is aimed at educating the citizenry of the ECCU “about policies, programmes and activities the Bank undertook and facilitated in the reporting year in fulfilling its mandate of maintaining the stability of the EC Dollar and the integrity of the ECCU financial system.”

It further explains that as part of the presentation, focus will be placed on “the significant economic and financial issues that affect the everyday lives of ECCU citizens.”

The ECCB has indicated that once the Governor has made his presentation, ensuing weeks will see a sensitisation programme being executed, consisting of a series of radio and television programmes to discuss the major issues that emerge from the presentation.
