The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) has reappointed Timothy N.J. Antoine to a second five-year term as governor, effective February 1. The decision was made during a meeting of the bank’s Monetary Council on Friday.
The Council cited the need for stable leadership as the region pursues policies aimed at sustained growth, economic diversification, and long-term resilience. Antoine, a Grenadian economist, first assumed the role on February 1, 2016.
Before his tenure at the ECCB, Antoine spent 22 years with the Government of Grenada, largely as permanent secretary in the Ministry of Finance. His regional footprint includes board positions with the Eastern Caribbean Home Mortgage Bank, the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange, and the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility.
He has also advised the World Bank Group’s executive director for Canada, Ireland, and the Caribbean.
The ECCB serves as the monetary authority for eight members of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union, including Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
