And Sint Maarten Supervisory Board
Honourable Minister of Finance Hiro Shigemoto announced on Tuesday that the Council of Ministers (COM) have put forward attorney Jairo Bloem as Sint Maarten’s candidate for the Supervisory Board of the Central Bank of Curacao and Sint Maarten.
On Monday attorney Ralph Richardson withdrew his candidacy for the supervisory board.
The resolutions within short will be sent to Governor Eugene Holiday to be signed before they are sent to Curacao’s Minister of Finance George R.M. Jamaloodin and the President of the Central Bank.
Sint Maarten’s candidates to fill the three board member positions are Robbie Ferron, Marciela Illidge and Jairo Bloem.
A transition regulation was signed in March with Curacao’s Minister of Finance regulating the new CBCS. The signing was seen as a significant development in the young life of country Sint Maarten.
Minister Shigemoto travelled to Curacao several times and met with his counterpart to discuss the future role of CBCS and pending banking matters that needed to be dealt with once the regulation was put in place.
"We need to move forward with the appointment of members of the banks supervisory board and then the financial institution can move forward in dealing with pending Central Bank matters," Hon. Minister of Finance Hiro Shigemoto stated on Tuesday.
