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