After Governor James Smith joined the Bank, I remember detailed comments he provided on a policy paper I wrote about options for monetary integration in the Caribbean. Those comments are still relevant today.
During Governor Julian Francis’ tenure, I interacted on many occasions with him about adjustments to exchange controls and monetary policy, including policies which we embraced in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the US. In fact, Governor Francis’ queries motivated most of my research on dollarisation and exchange control liberalisation.
