Cayman Finance In the News: Steve McIntosh, MBA, FCA, CEO of Cayman Finance, warns that complacency poses a critical risk to the Cayman Islands' financial services industry, despite its $500 million annual contribution to government revenue. Speaking at an international conference, he called for investment in technology, workforce development, and government support to sustain the industry. He noted that the industry employs over 4,000 Caymanians and underpins the economy but faces challenges like competition, rising costs, and underfunding compared to tourism promotion. He urged collaboration to ensure the sector remains globally competitive and a key pillar of the Caymanian economy. Click the link below to read more, courtesy of the Cayman Compass.
