The Central Bank is preparing a comprehensive digital payments roadmap that includes payments legislation, a stablecoin pilot programme and enhanced regulation as it seeks to position Trinidad and Tobago as the Caribbean’s leading fintech hub, according to Governor Larry Howai.
Speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago’s (AMCHAM T&T) Tech Hub Island Summit (THIS) conference at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad in Port of Spain, Howai said the Central Bank is committed to creating “a dynamic, globally competitive fintech industry” while balancing innovation with financial stability and consumer protection.
