  • The Costs of Dollarization; a Central Banker’S View
    The costs of dollarization; a central banker’s view Speech by Jeanette R. Semeleer, President of the Centrale Bank van Aruba (CBA), at the Symposium on “The advantages and disadvantages of Dollarization”, organized by the Council of Advice of St. Maarten, March 26, 2015. Members of Parliament, Ministers, Members of the Council of Advice and other distinguished guests, good evening. 1. Introduction First of all, allow me to express words of gratitude to the Council of Advice for the invitation to address you on the topic “The advantages and disadvantages of Dollarization”. I am truly honored and privileged to be here on this beautiful island (I should come here more often) and to contribute to the ongoing debate of dollarization in St. Maarten. Page 1 of 21 We all probably agree that dollarization is not an easy topic to debate on, but I hope when we leave the room tonight that some practical tools have been provided to facilitate the discussions. If this debate moves some time in the future towards a political decision that involves a change in the current exchange rate regime, extensive knowledge and practical experience are needed to choose the best policy for managing the exchange rate, which is a key instrument towards achieving macro- economic goals and maintaining financial stability. Tonight my speech will primarily focus on the costs of dollarization within the context of full dollarization. By full dollarization, I refer to a situation in which a country formally adopts a currency of another country—most commonly the U.S. dollar—as its legal tender.1 2.

  • To Dollarize Or Not to Dollarize – the Central Bank of Aruba’S Point of View
    Jeanette R Semeleer: To dollarize or not to dollarize – the Central Bank of Aruba’s point of view Speech by Ms Jeanette R Semeleer, President of the Central Bank of Aruba, at the conference “Opportunities and Risks of Dollarization for the Dutch Caribbean”, organized by the Minister of Finance of the Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao, at the Bank of the Netherlands Antilles, Willemstad, 24 August 2009. * * * Ladies and gentlemen, good morning! 1. Introduction I am truly honored to have been invited to speak to such a distinguished audience on a topic that touches everyone’s wallet, and that is dollarization. With dollarization in this context I refer to as the use of the US dollar as the exclusive legal tender in a country. I must admit that at the Centrale Bank van Aruba (CBA), although we have regular bilateral meetings, we have been quite surprised with the recent consideration of the BNA to replace the Netherlands Antillean guilder for the US dollar as the legal tender for the island of Curaçao on a very short term. In view of the far-reaching consequences of such a change, possibly for Aruba too, I highly applaud Mrs. De Lanooy’s initiative to organize a forum of experts, which could enlighten us further on a rather complicated issue. At the end, it is of crucial importance that the required political decision is based on a thorough assessment of the opportunities and risks associated with dollarization. In the next few minutes I will first clarify my view regarding dollarization in general and, subsequently, I will briefly focus on the special case of small-island economies like Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles.

  • Aruba Wins IBNS 2019 Bank Note of Year Award
    PRESS RELEASE Aruba Wins IBNS 2019 Bank Note of Year Award Oranjestad, April 3, 2020 – The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) announces today that its voting membership has selected the Central Bank of Aruba (CBA) to receive its annual prestigious “Bank Note of the Year Award” for 2019. Aruba’s new 100 florin bill is the award winning design. On June 3rd 2019, five new Aruban florin banknotes, of which one has a new denomination, were issued after years of intensive preparations and close cooperation with various local stakeholders, including the commercial banks, as well as international suppliers of banknote paper, security features, and equipment. The 100 florin bill has predominantly a green color, which represents the natural habitat of different species of Aruba’s flora and fauna. From all significant newly designed and widely circulated banknotes released in 2019, the IBNS membership nominated notes from 22 different countries to place on the ballot. In its press release, IBNS speaks highly of the 100 florin bill: “The unique designs are truly eye catching and effectively balance the challenge of anti-counterfeit technology with production costs. Local schools and citizens were all engaged in this national currency transition.“ Proud of Aruba Mrs. Jane Semeleer, President of the CBA: “It is very clear that we have managed to create a beautiful family of banknotes. We have one of the most innovative and modern banknote series in the world. And we’re very proud that our vision – to make Arubans proud of their country and to show the world the rich life of Aruba – has led to an award winning 100 florin banknote.
