Corporate Governance is considered to be integral to the development of transparent and properly functioning money and capital markets. Good Governance is also necessary to engender investor confidence and attract liquidity to these markets. However, in an environment where organised markets are nascent and where traditionally, there has been a weak market for corporate control, credible governance structures have not always been demonstrated.
All the regions of the world have established platforms for the advancement of an effective corporate governance movement in their jurisdictions. The Caribbean Corporate Governance Forum (CCGF) is one such platform for the Caribbean region.
The CCGF is working with global organisations such as the OECD, Global Corporate Governance Forum (World Bank), Commonwealth Association of Corporate Governance (CACG) and the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) to advance the corporate governance agenda. It also has several partnerships with institutions in the region that include Central Banks, Securities Commissions, Stock Exchanges, Non-bank Financial Institutions, Chambers of Commerce, academic institutions and others, etc.
