*  *  *  Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me first thank the Caribbean Centre for Money and Finance (CCMF) for inviting me to deliver Opening Remarks at its 3rd Caribbean Business Executive Seminar on Venture Capital Financing.
I commend CCMF for bringing together a wide cross section of C level executives from finance and government as well as academic experts to share experiences and best practices on the policies to promote venture capital finance in the Caribbean.
