WILLEMSTAD – Minister of Finance Charles Cooper has stated that the government will not step in to financially support insurance companies facing difficulties.
Speaking in response to reports circulating on social media and in the local press, Cooper confirmed that he is aware of concerns about the financial situation of certain insurance firms. However, he stressed that the current government has taken a clear position on the matter.
According to the minister, no public funds will be used to resolve problems within insurance companies. “It is regrettable that there are situations and developments causing concern,” Cooper indicated, “but the government will not intervene or provide financial assistance to any insurance company.”
The statement signals a firm policy stance by the Ministry of Finance, emphasizing that responsibility for financial stability lies with the insurance sector itself, rather than with the government.
Cooper did not comment on which companies may be affected, nor on any ongoing regulatory actions, but underscored that this approach reflects the government’s broader commitment to fiscal discipline and the responsible use of public funds.
