WILLEMSTAD - The government of Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas does not agree with the proposal to extend the term of two supervisory directors at the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS), which expires in August.
Javier Silvania, Minister of Finance of Curaçao, says that the current coalition wants to appoint its own commissioners.
The two members of the Supervisory Board (SB) whose four-year term will soon end are Etienne Ys (Chairman of the Supervisory Board, on the nomination and approval of both countries) and Rignaal 'Jean' Francisca who represents Curaçao.
There is a third 'Curaçao' commissioner who will step down in August, Jeannette Hagen, but no extension has been proposed for her and three other candidates have been put forward instead. Julian Lopez Ramirez, also from Curaçao, will follow in November.
In the context of good governance, in the opinion of the Supervisory Board, it is not wise and not even responsible to replace the entire Supervisory Board regarding Curaçao. Hence the recommendation to the Minister of Finance to extend two supervisory directors.
