Ms Laurel Theresa Bain decided to share her knowledge and experience by writing this book, Fiscal Policy in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) . Ms Bain is an Economist, having retired from the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank after twenty-nine (29) years of dedicated service. During these years, Ms Bain gained considerable experience as she soared through each of the ranks of her technical and administrative career paths to the position as Senior Director in the Governor's Office. Her strong technical skills were manifested in her research on fiscal policy and in the undertaking of economic assessments of the economies of the countries of the ECCU. In doing so, Ms Bain interacted with governments, and with regional and international organisations. Ms Bain is therefore best placed to document the evolution, challenges and opportunities of fiscal policy in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.
