The area of focus for Financial Information Month 2018 is: Conducting and Protecting Your Business in a Digital Environment.

Among the featured events that will take place in St. Vincent and Grenadines are: a Business Symposium targeting small business owners, financial institutions and the public at large, which will be held on Thursday October 18 from 5- 7pm at the NIS Conference Centre; a Financial Fair at the St. Vincent Cooperative Bank Car Park on Thursday October 25 from 9am to 2pm and a Walkathon slated for Saturday November 3, at 3pm.
