Established in 1976, CBSI this year marks its Golden Jubilee under the theme “Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence.”
In a statement posted on their official Facebook yesterday, the Central Bank said over the past five decades, the bank has played a key role in maintaining economic stability, strengthening the country’s financial system and supporting Solomon Islands’ national development aspirations.
To commemorate the historic milestone, CBSI will host a series of activities throughout June and July that aim to promote financial awareness and strengthen engagement with the public.
The celebrations will begin with a nationwide Financial Literacy Campaign running from June to July.

A Governor’s Lecture and Forum are scheduled for June 17, where discussions are expected to focus on the country’s economic development, financial systems and future challenges.
The anniversary celebrations will conclude with an Official Anniversary Ceremony and Gala Dinner on June 18.
