Abstract
The Bank was established in 1983 to maintain a common currency (Eastern Caribbean dollar) between members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), to establish a central body with powers to issue and manage the common currency, and to promote monetary stability and a sound financial structure. The Bank also performs an advisory function concerning the economic development of its member countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
