Governance
By the Caribbean
Responsible and transparent governance is at the heart of Carib$ — ensuring a secure, stable, and growth-minded solution. Carib$ leverages the experience and expertise of public and private-sector stakeholders for its governance.
Essentially, it's the exchange rate between Carib$ and a Caribbean currency, like the Barbados Dollar. The peg will be set to maximise value for Carib$ users.
Carib$ will initially have a collateral ratio of 100% to ensure the security and stability of the currency. Traditional currencies employ a range of collateral ratios, ranging from 0% (USD) to nearly 100% (BBD). The adjustment of the collateral ratio is possible in the future through users’ trust in the integrity of Carib$.
Carib$ will be backed initially by only Barbados and Jamaica Dollars (BBD, JMD). A dynamic mix of Caribbean commodities, securities, bonds and other assets may be introduced in the future—collateral that promotes stability and regional development.
Introduce new Carib$ products and features to enhance Caribbean trade development. Carib$ products may include trade finance tools, cash advances, term loans, purchase order finance, and receivables discounting, among others.
