We at Business BVI believe that only a very small handful of persons may, and we stress may, have directly contributed more to the economic wellbeing of these islands over the last two plus decades, than Dr. Robert A. Mathavious.
Hence, we are most pleased to pay tribute to Robert for his enormous contribution to the betterment of life in these islands in this edition’s Special Section. In pulling this section together, we drew on the insight of key leaders in financial services in the BVI and overseas, reflective of Dr. Mathavious’ influence in the global financial services space. It provides a glimpse into the BVI backstory as a facilitator of globalisation. Transactions which helped to move hundreds of millions into the global middle class in China, the wider Asia community, India and in many African countries.
