The Bahamas Financial Services Board has announced plans for the 2005 Bahamas Financial Services Retreat to be held on January 28 through 30.

This annual event attempts to bring together stakeholders from the government, the regulators and financial services industry practitioners for discussions on the key issues driving the country’s finance sector with the objective of formulating strategies for future growth.

This year’s Retreat will feature a public sector delegation led by the Prime Minister, Perry Christie, along with the Minister of Financial Services & Investment, the Attorney General, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, the Governor of the Central Bank, the Acting Executive Director of the Securities Commission, the Registrar of Insurance Companies, and a Member of the Compliance Commission.

These public sector officials will be joined by a wide cross section of industry practitioners from BFSB’s membership, representing the banking and trust, investment funds and securities, insurance, legal, accounting and public relations sectors.

“The willingness of government and private sector leaders to devote time and resources to this initiative bodes well for the continued development of financial services,” noted Wendy Warren, the BFSB’s Executive Director & CEO of the 2005 event.
