This occasional paper reviews recent developments, policy issues, and institutional arrangements in the member countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union, and looks at the regional financial system, its supervision, and the central bank's initiatives to establish a single financial space. The paper includes a large amount of statistical information that is not readily available elsewhere from a single source UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF084/06902-9781557758941/06902-9781557758941/06902-9781557758941.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781557758941 ER -
