Because of the size of the local markets and the numerous commonalities, countries tend to access the same capital and insurance markets. They have some common banks and insurance companies. Regional governments have subscribed to common approaches to the energy transformation process even though unique in their implementation. E.g. through CARICOM and OECS. The same multilaterals and funding institutions tend to operate in the region even though not everyone operates in all countries. E.g. IDB covers some countries and the EU covers some countries. Consequently, a regional view is adopted with specific local references where necessary. 4.6 | CAPITAL & INSURANCE MARKETS
