Sectoral interventions have focused primarily on the financial and energy sectors. In the financial sector, the 2015 PBO to Antigua and Barbuda supported a resolution of ABI Bank in order to avoid a disorderly adjustment, which would probably have had severe economic and social repercussions. A disorderly resolution in Antigua and Barbuda would have had an impact on other Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) member countries, with possible runs on banks in the currency union, and adverse consequences for their capital base and capital adequacy.

The PBO therefore supported the decision of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union Monetary Council to try to achieve a resolution of the bank, along with reforms to the banking system and a new Banking Act, 2015. It also included reform actions on fiscal and debt sustainability to help stabilize the macroeconomic situation.

Energy sector PBOs in Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname supported key reforms such as reducing fuel subsidies and CO2 emissions and strengthening the regulatory framework in power generation and renewable energy. It should be noted that sectoral reforms have not been restricted to sector PBOs; in a number of macroeconomic PBOs, specific pillars have focused on pertinent sectoral issues in areas such as doing business and trade facilitation.
