Gov’t mulling setting up of regional arbitration hub
Courtney Abel
December 28, 2020
Government is set to embark on a programme to help to promote the use of arbitration in commercial disputes with Guyana positioning itself as an arbitration hub. And such a move would require facilitating and further developing and upgrading its local arbitration law and practice.
According to a recent release from the Ministry of Legal Affairs, consultations have been held with Guyanese-born, retired High Court Justice of Belize, Courtney Abel. A proposal was made and considered, with the blessing of President Irfaan Ali, to help to promote Guyana as an arbitration hub by facilitating and further developing and upgrading its local arbitration law and practice.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Secretariat on its website today advised via a Press Release, attached to the Grey List on “Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring”, that The Bahamas has now been delisted from said list. This decision follows the final assessment and recommendations of the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) of the Americas, resulting from an onsite visit to The Bahamas between the 10th and 11th November 2020.
The FATF congratulated The Bahamas for the “significant progress” it has made in improving its AML/CFT/CFP regime. FATF’s Press Release noted that
“The Bahamas has strengthened the effectiveness of its AML/CFT system and addressed related technical deficiencies to meet the commitments in its action plan and remedy the strategic deficiencies identified by the FATF in October 2018”.
