    FEMISE RESEARCH PROGRAMME A Perspective on the Future Dollar-Euro Exchange Rate: Implications for the Peripheral Mediterranean Countries Simon Neaime Institute of Money and Banking American University of Beirut September 2000 This text has been drafted with financial assistance from the Commission of the European Communities. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and therefore in no way reflect the offical opinion of the Commission A Perspective on the Future Dollar-Euro Exchange Rate: Implications for the Peripheral Mediterranean Countries* Project Coordinator: Simon Neaime Institute of Money and Banking American University of Beirut Email: [email protected] _________________________ *This work has benefited from a financial grant from the Commission of the European Communities within the context of the FEMISE program. The views expressed are those of the beneficiary and therefore in no way reflect the official opinion of the Commission. ABSTRACT There has been considerable interest in recent years in the prospective dollar- euro exchange rate motivated by the launch of the single currency in Europe. This project studies some of the factors that may constitute the main determinants of the dollar-euro exchange rate. In particular, it argues that in the year 2002−when the euro becomes legal tender within the euro area−there will be an appreciation in the value of the euro against the US dollar arising from shifts in demand towards the euro. Such shifts would work through EU trade invoicing, private portfolio diversification inside and outside the euro area, and central banks’ reserves diversification, strengthening the value of the euro against the dollar.

    Address by the Rt. Hon. Owen Arthur Prime Minister on the Occasion of the Re-Opening of the West Wing of Parliament

    ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON. OWEN ARTHUR PRIME MINISTER ON THE OCCASION OF THE RE-OPENING OF THE WEST WING OF PARLIAMENT NOVEMBER 22, 2006 2 In every form of Government known to mankind, and particularly in a Democracy, the land on which the Legislature is located is regarded with some reverence. Trollope captured that reverence well in the sentiments he put in the mouth of one of the characters of his novel “Can You Forgive Her”: “I have told myself, in anger and in grief, that to die and not to have won that right of way, though but for a session – not to have passed through those lamps (on either side of the St. Stephen’s entrance) – is to die and not to have done that which it most becomes an Englishman to have achieved”. Thus, the mere mention of the Palace of Westminster or Capitol Hill to mention two such familiar locations, conjures up in the mind locations which are not mere pieces of real estate, but places of deep constitutional and historical significance, where the people’s business is conducted and the outcome of their democratic right to vote finds practical expression. I am sure therefore that you appreciate as I do, the importance and significance of the reopening of the West Wing of our Parliament Buildings. It bears repeating that within the Commonwealth of Nations, our Parliament, is the third oldest political institution. Only the Parliament at the Palace of Westminster and the Parliament in Hamilton Bermuda are older; and our Parliamentary System of Representative Government is therefore 367 years old.

    The Hon. Mia Amor Mottley, Q.C., M.P. Prime Minister Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs and Investment Budgetary Proposals and Financial Statement, 2019 “STAY THE COURSE” March 20, 2019 Budgetary Proposals and Financial Statement 2019 2 Stay The Course -The Arc of Stabilisation, Growth and Transformation Mr. Speaker Sir, Sunday coming will mark 10 months that we embarked on our journey The commitment Barbadians have shown to this trek knows no equal. In this critical passage of our history, the Social Partnership has played a vital role. We have committed to a voyage for love of country and we must see it through. We must stay the course. Much progress has been made. Important points along the way have been seen and passed. The IMF’s approval of the Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan; the domestic debt restructuring and a budget surplus. But, trust me, everyone knows we cannot rebuild in 10 months what they destroyed in 10 years. And even as we embark on this path, we have been beset by some major challenges, led of course by the issue of gun-related violence. It is a scourge we will not ignore or tolerate and we have already begun taking steps to counter. We must and we will do all in our power to save your young people. And the international background today has made the task harder than ever before. Brexit has curbed the enthusiasm for travel from our largest source market. The OECD has forced us to abandon a 30-year old separation of tax rates between international and local business.
  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future

    The History of Political Independence and Its Future

    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

    The Tom Adams Memorial Lecture by Senator Dr Jerome Walcott Thursday, September 22, 2016 At the Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intellect, Vision and Fortitude, in an Island State: The Tom Adams Story 1 | P a g e In my opinion Tom Adams was one of the greatest Barbadians who ever lived and is the most visionary leader we have ever had. I say this because; He conceptualised the construction of the ABC Highway – the major thoroughfare in Barbados today! He initiated the development of the International Business sector – the number two foreign exchange earning sector in Barbados for the last several years. He was the architectbehind the Plantation Tenantries Freehold Purchase Act – that has enabled thousands of Barbadians to purchase land and build their own homes. He was responsible for the establishment of the National Drug Service – which ensured that Barbadians of all ages could get medication free or at minimal cost. He was the driving force behind the establishment and promotion of the Credit Union movement – which has helped thousands of Barbadians to own homes, land, vehicles and to start businesses. He was the catalyst for women’s upward mobility in society and the removal of the concept of illegitimacy which gave legal rights of inheritance to thousands of children born out of wedlock. And he pushed for the establishment of the NCF – which is at the centre of Barbados’ cultural and artistic renaissance. The Hon. Mia Mottley, Leader of the Opposition, former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Owen Arthur, current and former Parliamentarians, members of the Diplomatic Corps, distinguished ladies and gentlemanGood evening.
