Willemstad/Philipsburg – The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) announces the publication of its new fact sheets for the pension fund, life insurance, and non-life insurance sectors of the Monetary Union of Curaçao and Sint Maarten. These fact sheets accompany the 2025 Financial Stability Report (FSR), which was released on May 12, 2025.
The fact sheets provide an overview of the state of each sector, describing the structure and recent developments. The fact sheets are supported by our most recent Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs). FSIs are aggregate statistical indicators that allow countries to assess the health of their financial institutions—such as banks, insurers, and pension funds.
These fact sheets serve two important purposes:
- Bridging the data gap
In its Technical Assistance Mission Report of 2025, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recommended reducing the previous time-lag in data reporting by insurance and pension funds, to make CBCS’s analytical work more up to date. As part of strengthening our financial stability monitoring and simultaneously bridge this data gap, the CBCS will issue fact sheets every year. This way, key sectoral information remains available in the period between FSR publications.
- Introducing revised FSIs
Since the release of the last FSR, the CBCS has updated the FSIs for the pension fund and insurance sectors. These updated indicators are included in the new fact sheets and will also be featured in the 2026 FSR.
The fact sheets are now available on the CBCS website: Financial Stability Notes & Fact Sheets – Centrale Bank Curacao & Sint Maarten
