Dear Reader
Trust in the financial sector is a precious commodity.
The complete banking, insurance and financial industry runs on trust.
It has been known for quite some time that the finances at Ennia's group of companies were precarious.
Now that the Central Bank of Curacao and St. Maarten has stepped in with emergency measures to protect the rights of stakeholders, trust becomes an even more important factor. Trust that creditors and pensioners can be protected and their claims guaranteed.
What the consequences this all may entail for the Mullet Bay property on St. Maarten is a burning question we would like to ask Mr. Richard F. Gibson Sr., as he is now President and General Managing Director and representing ENNIA in that capacity.
We would also like to ask MP Rolando Brison a few questions as well as 'Giving Mullet Bay back to the people' was one of his key campaign platform issues.
Stay tuned for more news as we monitor the developments in this area.
Best regards,
Terrance Rey
