The presentation was about the social economic impact of dollarization; dissolution of the monetary union; blueprint for the Central Bank of Sint Maarten; supervision financial sector Sint Maarten; and the Development Bank of Sint Maarten.

"The CoM had asked the CBCS several months ago to do some research into a number of areas of strategic economic importance that we needed additional information.

We are very pleased with the information received as this will assist with decision-making," Minister of Finance Hon. Hiro Shigemoto said on Tuesday.

The CBCS President last week also made a presentation to the Sint Maarten General Pension Fund as well as to insurance agencies about investing.

Last week Monday the Minister of Finance and other dignitaries attended a dinner to commemorate the upcoming 184th anniversary of the Bank.
