Vulnerabilities in the transition from the Netherlands Antillean guilder to the Caribbean guilder: warning about money laundering and financial (crime) risks
Sint Maarten and Curaçao are undergoing a historic transition: the introduction of the Caribbean guilder. With this change, the current Netherlands Antillean guilder will be replaced by the Caribbean guilder. While this development marks a significant milestone for the financial landscape of Sint Maarten and Curaçao, this transition also brings considerable financial (crime) risks. The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS and the Financial Intelligence Unit Sint Maarten (FIU) emphasize the importance of vigilance and cooperation to prevent misuse during this transition period.
