Barbados Central Bank Governor admitted to Bretton Woods Committee

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – The Governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, Dr. DeLisle Worrell Monday said he was honoured that his academic and professional work had been recognised after he was made a member of the prestigious Bretton Woods Committee.

The Bretton Woods Committee, founded in 1983, is a nonpartisan network of prominent global citizens which works to demonstrate the value of international economic cooperation and to foster strong, effective international financial institutions (IFIs) as forces for global well-being. Membership is by invitation only.

“I am honoured that my academic and professional work has been recognized as significant enough for me to be invited to join this prestigious group,” Worrell said.

“This membership will grant Barbados access to some of the great minds in the world of business and finance,” he said.

A statement from the Central Bank said that Governor Worrell will participate in the Committee’s programmes and engage with a close community of fellow members and top government and IFI officials in exploring current issues in finance, development and trade.
