Promoting Transparency and Stability
WILLEMSTAD, PHILIPSBURG – The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) has released new fact sheets covering the pension fund, life insurance and non-life insurance sectors within the Monetary Union of Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The publications accompany the 2025 Financial Stability Report (FSR), issued on May 12, 2025.
The fact sheets offer a clear overview of each sector’s structure, recent developments and overall performance. They are supported by the most up-to-date Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs), which provide an aggregated statistical view of the health of key financial institutions—including banks, insurers and pension funds.
According to the CBCS, the fact sheets serve two core objectives.
First, they help close the existing data gap identified by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its 2025 Technical Assistance Mission Report. The IMF recommended reducing the lag in data submitted by insurers and pension funds to ensure the CBCS can conduct more timely and robust financial analysis. To support this, the CBCS will publish fact sheets annually, ensuring that essential sector information remains available in the periods between future FSR releases.
Second, the fact sheets introduce the revised FSIs updated since the last Financial Stability Report. These updated indicators appear in the newly published documents and will also be reflected in the 2026 FSR.
The CBCS states that the new fact sheets are part of its ongoing efforts to enhance transparency, strengthen financial stability oversight and support a sound and resilient financial sector across the Monetary Union.
