RESEARCH PRIZE
Mr. Timothy Baswell Donaldson was the first Governor of the Central Bank of the Bahamas, having led the organisation through its transition from the Bahamas Monetary Authority. Through the Central Bank, Mr. Donaldson was instrumental in establishing the Bahamas Institute of Bankers (now the Bahamas Institute of Financial Services), and he contributed as a past Chairman of the College (now University) of the Bahamas.
The T. B. Donaldson Research Prize is intended to have a similar effect in identifying and inspiring young scholars. These individuals are destined to stand out in their future contribution to Bahamian scholarship and national development in the areas of economic, finance and business. The Prize is also in the tradition established by Mr. Donaldson, of recognizing the value of higher education and technical skills in supporting progressive development of both regulators and other participants in the domestic economic space.
