Sir K Dwight Venner presented a review of the performance of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) for the 2010/2011 Financial Year on Wednesday 29 June 2011 at 8 p.m. on radio and television stations throughout the eight ECCB member countries.

The presentation was designed to inform citizens of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) about policies, programmes and activities the Bank undertook and facilitated in the reporting year in fulfilling its mandate of maintaining the stability of the EC Dollar and the integrity of the ECCU financial system.  The presentation focused on the significant economic and financial issues that affect the everyday lives of ECCU citizens.
