WILLEMSTAD – The Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS) has unveiled a new Strategic Plan for 2026-2028 aimed at modernizing the financial sector, strengthening public confidence and preparing the monetary union for future economic challenges.
The strategy is built around the vision "Driven by innovation, focused on trust" and comes after the successful introduction of the Caribbean guilder in 2025, one of the bank's largest operational projects in recent decades.
Over the next three years, the CBCS plans to strengthen monetary policy, improve financial supervision, modernize payment systems, promote sustainable economic development and transform itself into a more digital and data-driven institution. Climate change, cybersecurity and technological innovation will become increasingly important components of the bank's work.
Among the priorities are expanding access to secure payment services, enhancing supervision of financial institutions, improving digital services and providing more proactive economic policy advice to the governments of Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
The strategy also emphasizes transparency and stronger cooperation with financial institutions and international partners as the region adapts to rapid technological change and evolving international financial standards.
