Cover High-Level Summary Technical Assistance Reports
Suriname: Financial Stability, Monetary Policy, and Central Bank Communication
Petr Jakubik
and
Marek Petrus
The technical assistance mission evaluated the Central Bank of Suriname’s (CBvS) communication on monetary policy and financial stability to enhance transparency, consistency, and stakeholder engagement. Recommendations include institutionalizing structured decision-making with fixed schedules for Monetary Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) and Financial Stability Advisory Committee (FSAC) meetings, followed by policy-setting Executive Board sessions. These efforts should be supported by forward-looking publications, such as the Monetary Policy Report (MPR) and Financial Stability Report (FSR). Enhanced communication strategies, including proactive outreach and capacity-building programs, aim to align CBvS practices with international standards, strengthen credibility, regain public trust, and support its mandate for price and financial stability.

Suriname: Technical Assistance Report—Financial Stability Report
International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department
This Technical Assistance Report on Suriname discusses summary and recommendations of financial stability report (FSR). The mission focused on enhancing the FSR of the Central Bank of Suriname (CBS) whose publication has recently resumed. The mission provided several recommendations to the CBS. This covered the content and structure of the FSR and its related FSR processes, CBS’s internal and external communication, additional headcount for the Financial Stability Department, developing the financial stability analytical toolkit, coverage of the non-banking sector, and the use of data sources and statistics. The preparation of a detailed FSR production plan is critical and could facilitate improvements and bring some synergies between different teams involved in its production. This needs to include different steps and set up a firm date of publication. The CBS should further continue working toward enhancing the financial stability analytical toolkit. The mission also identified that more in-depth analysis of the insurance and pension sector is needed. The bank-like activities undertaken by non-banks should be fully assessed and monitored.
