Fellow Citizens, …
It is my pleasure to invite you to become involved and participate in Financial Information Month (FIM) 2018. A wide range of activities have been planned for this 18th year of celebration. These activities would be taking place in St. Kitts and Nevis, and throughout the other countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, ECCU Governments, other Public and Private Sector partners and Civil Society organisations continue to serve as champions for the celebration of Financial Information Month across the Union. This year, they have again partnered in putting together a number of activities aimed to further strengthen the financial underpinnings of our region. The main goal of celebrating this month of activities is to successfully attain “a financially developed and vibrant ECCU region that fosters strong and sustainable economic growth and the improved well-being of the citizenry”. We believe that our people would benefit tremendously from the planned activities as we seek to promote people empowerment and foster strong and sustainable economic growth.
