Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) Banknotes: The ECCB has unveiled a redesigned family of EC banknotes that replaces Queen Elizabeth II with 10 regional national heroes and icons, including Montserrat’s William Henry Bramble on the EC$10 note; the new designs were shown during the ECCB Monetary Council meeting in Dominica, with circulation expected to begin in late 2027 as existing stocks are depleted. ECCB Monetary Council: The 113th Monetary Council meeting reaffirmed the EC dollar’s role as a stable anchor while pushing the “Big Push” agenda across human capital, food security, energy resilience, digital transformation, financial inclusion, tourism, and trade logistics, with Montserrat’s Premier Reuben Meade set to represent the island at the meeting. ECCB Chairmanship Handover: Dominica will take over the ECCB Monetary Council chairmanship on July 9 from Antigua and Barbuda’s Gaston Browne, in a ceremony that also spotlights the 50th anniversary of the EC dollar’s fixed exchange rate peg to the US dollar. Montserrat Land Rights Clarification: Montserrat’s Land Registry moved to correct public confusion over the Crown Title Act, stressing it does not automatically transfer registered private land to the Crown after 2030 and applies only to specific unclaimed land from the 1978–1982 adjudication process. Regional Air Connectivity: Antigua’s PM Gaston Browne renewed calls for an OECS airline, citing long delays and cancellations that strand regional travellers—an issue that directly affects Montserrat’s business and travel links.
