The work of the ECCB's Research Department informs policy decisions of the Eastern Caribbean currency union as a whole, and of individual member governments. In any given year scores of reports, paper and briefs are prepared for a variety of regional and international audiences. These include the Bank's Monetary Council and Board of Directors, commercial bankers and official of non-bank financial institutions. Additionally, ECCB economists are encouraged to engage in ground-breaking research for presentation to conferences around the world. Such offerings, while they may not reflect the views of the ECCB, encourage the academic interaction and stimulation that ultimately rebound to the benefit of the institution.
