WILLEMSTAD – Safeguarding financial stability remains a core objective of the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, with the 2026–2028 research agenda placing strong emphasis on macroprudential policy and systemic risk.
Planned studies will analyze banking sector resilience, non-performing loans, stress testing and the links between housing markets and financial stability. The CBCS notes that real estate exposures and rising household debt can amplify systemic vulnerabilities.
The agenda also covers emerging risks such as climate-related insurance pressures, cyber threats, fintech, demographic change and money-laundering-related de-risking by international banks.
