Madam Speaker, I wish to present to this Honourable House, an update on the plans for the additional year in the education system. 

Madam Speaker, I have just updated this Honourable House with where we are in strengthening our Financial Services structure. Now I would like to put things into a different perspective focusing more on the value of the BVI to the global economy. 

Madam Speaker we are all aware that BVI is home to a Financial Services Industry that is of global pre-eminence. The core of this industry is our company incorporation business which is revered the world over as it is used to facilitate a myriad of international business transactions. 

Greetings, I am Myron V. Walwyn, Minister for Education & Culture. In recognition of Library Week 2016, it is my pleasure to once again offer these remarks to foster an appreciation for libraries, promote reading, and advance literacy by encouraging all residents to support, utilize and visit our public libraries throughout the Territory.

As you are aware, the start of this week has been quite interesting and challenging for our financial services sector, an industry that we have long been fighting hard to defend due to report raises by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) of the Panama Paper, particularly regarding alleged abuse or misuse of BVI structures.

The Government of the British Virgin Islands is very concerned by the issues that the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) report raises, particularly regarding alleged abuse or misuse of BVI structures.
