OECS

OECS stands for the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) came into being on June 18th 1981, when seven Eastern Caribbean countries signed a treaty agreeing to cooperate with each other and promote unity and solidarity among the Members. The Treaty became known as the Treaty of Basseterre, so named in honour of the capital city of St. Kitts and Nevis where it was signed.

The Eastern Caribbean Economic and Currency Union (OECS/ECCU) is one of four currency unions in the world.
