Hushang Ansary (Persian: هوشنگ انصاری, born 1927) is an Iranian-American former diplomat, businessman, and philanthropist. He served for eighteen years in the Iranian government prior to the Iranian Revolution including as Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance and Iran's Ambassador to the United States from 1967 to 1969.[1] He has been chairman or director of companies both in Iran and in the United States.

On July 3, 2018, the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS) revoked the insurer license of the insurance companies of the Ennia Group. On July 4, 2018, at the request of CBCS, the Court in First Instance of Curaçao declared emergency regulations in respect of these insurance companies, as well as Ennia Caribe Holding N.V. and EC Investments B.V. CBCS has been administering these companies since the declaration of emergency regulations.[2][3] In late 2018, Ennia has held various of its former directors, former supervisory directors and its shareholder liable for damages suffered by it. By judgment of November 29, 2021, the Court of First Instance of Curaçao ordered Hushang Ansary, shareholder Parman International B.V., and former directors to pay around ANG 1 billion (USD 500 million) to the Ennia Group. In March 2023, this judgment was appealed, and the amount owed to Ennia was drastically reduced. On September 12, 2023, the Common Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao and St. Maarten and of Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius issued an interim judgment in the appellate proceedings. [4]
