He is appointed at the position of Director of Policy, Research and Statistics Division, whose duty will be to provide technical support, advice and overall support to the Commission. Mr. Jallow will also assist the Managing Director in the development and implementation of the Commission's strategies and objectives.
Cherno Jallow will provide assistance in formulating policies and legislation to balance the application of international regulatory standards with the development of BVI's Financial Services Sector. Mr Jallow will hold responsibility for the coordination and execution of the Commission's consultative mechanisms between public and private sectors, coordination of the Commission's AML/CFT programs and initiatives, and the Commission's response to international initiatives targeting the offshore financial centers and the BVI in particular.

Robert Mathavious, CEO and managing director of BVI FSC, welcomed the appointment of Cherno Jallow, stating that “Over many years, Mr Jallow has been a tower of strength in dealing with the international challenges confronting the BVI’s financial services sector... Having Mr Jallow on our Senior Management team will be a real fillip to ensuring that the Commission is fully and professionally staffed to fulfill its statutory and regulatory mandates."
