I am informed by the Central Bank that the total headcount as at end December 2016 was 1,599 full time equivalents, against an approved complement of 1,695.

The Bank is engaged in recruitment on an on-going basis and the Governor has previously indicated that the Bank has the ability to effectively re-prioritise where it needs to. 

I am satisfied that the Bank has the necessary resources to fulfil its mandate.
