The Central Bank is therefore committed to fostering a regulatory environment that will enable existing or new firms to expand and improve the quality and range of financial products and services. In closing, let me reiterate that the opening of this branch provides an opportunity to implement new approaches and offer financial solutions that can add vigor to the existing credit market.
On behalf of the Central Bank, I offer sincerest congratulations to ANSA 2|Page  Financial Holdings (Barbados) Ltd and the management and staff of Consolidated Finance Company Limited for the demonstration of the commitment and faith in the resilience of the Barbados economy. Best wishes for the future. Thank you. 3|Page
