Premier André Ebanks during the swearing-in ceremony outside Parliament on 6 May 2025.
Cayman Finance extends its warmest congratulations to the Honourable André Ebanks on his appointment as Premier of the Cayman Islands, following the general election held on 30 April 2025. We also congratulate all newly elected and returning Members of Parliament.
We commend the people of the Cayman Islands for the conduct of a fair and peaceful election and recognise the swift and constructive formation of a coalition government between The Caymanian Community Party and the Cayman Islands National Party, in partnership with the independent representatives from the districts of North Side, East End and West Bay North.
Cayman Finance looks forward to working collaboratively with the new government to support the continued growth and innovation of the Cayman Islands’ financial services industry, which remains a main pillar of the country’s economy.
Cayman Finance CEO Steve McIntosh said: “This is a time of great global challenges – but also one filled with opportunity. The Cayman Islands is well placed to continue to play a significant role in shaping cross-border solutions for international investment and commerce.”
He said, “A top priority for Cayman Finance is to support the government in the development and execution of a robust workforce development strategy – one that ensures every Caymanian who is willing and able to work in the financial services industry will have the opportunity to do so.”
As ever, Cayman Finance will engage with public and private sector stakeholders to ensure the Cayman Islands remains a premier global financial centre to further enhance the success of our members, their clients and our wider community.
