Ashley Bobb awarded De La Rue/Central Bank schol

“As you develop in your career there will be times you will be faced with temptation, incentive, encouragement, threats, pressure, either to do the wrong things or to be an accomplice to something that is not correct, or to look the other way, turn to basic knowledge and let honesty and integrity be your anchors, you will know the right thing to do,” he said.

Hilaire was speaking on Wednesday at the bank’s 2014-2015 De La Rue award scholarship which was presented to Ashley Bobb, who completed her Master of Science (MSc) in Economics at the University of the West Indies. Hilaire congratulated Bobb for her outstanding achievement at the presentation ceremony, held at the Central Bank, Port-of-Spain.

In her acceptance speech, Bobb said over the years, the De La Rue and the Central Bank have afforded young people like herself, the opportunity to pursue higher education in the fields of Economics, Actuarial Science and Finance that would not have otherwise been possible.
