Suriname

The technical assistance mission supported the Central Bank of Suriname (CBvS) in developing a comprehensive macroprudential framework. Recommendations include formalizing the macroprudential framework through the development of an overarching strategy document and a structured, phased implementation roadmap. They also emphasize strengthening cross‑border coordination, governance arrangements, and communication practices to enhance accountability and transparency. In addition, the recommendations call for expanding the macroprudential toolkit to address key systemic risks arising from structural vulnerabilities and rapid credit expansion. Enhancing data collection and analytical capabilities is key to facilitating the adoption of macroprudential tools.
