  • 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.

  • The African Telatelist
    The African Telatelist Newsletter 189 of the African Telately Association – March 2014. ___________________________________________________________________________ Bonaire (C.Edwards) Bonaire (/bɒ ˈ nɛ ər/; Dutch: Bonaire, Papiament u: Boneiru) is a Caribbean island that, with the uninhabited islet of Klein Bonaire nestled in its western crescent, forms a special municipality (officially public body) of the Netherlands. Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. The name Bonaire is thought to have originally come from the Caquetio word 'Bonay'. The early Spanish and Dutch modified its spelling to Bojnaj and also Bonaire, which means "Good Air". Coat of Arms Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Original inhabitants Bonaire's earliest known inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians, a branch of the Arawak who came by canoe from Venezuela in about 1000 CE. Archeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay. Caquetio rock paintings and Location of Bonaire (circled in Red) petroglyphs have been preserved in caves at Spelonk, Onima, Ceru Pungi, and Ceru Crita- Coordinates: 12°9′N 68°16′W Cabai. The Caquetios were apparently a very tall people, for the Spanish name for the ABC Bonaire was part of the Netherlands Antilles until Islands was 'las Islas de los Gigantes' or 'the the country's dissolution on 10 October islands of the giants. 2010, when the island (including Klein Bonaire) became a special municipality within the country European arrival of the Netherlands. In 1499, Alonso de Ojeda arrived in Curaçao and a neighbouring island that was almost certainly Bonaire.

  • 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.

  • 1 to Dollarize Or Not to Dollarize: the CBA's Point of View Ladies And
    To dollarize or not to dollarize: the CBA’s point of view Speech by Jeanette R. Semeleer, President of the Centrale Bank van Aruba (CBA), at the Dollarization conference “Opportunities and Risks of Dollarization for the Dutch Caribbean”, organized by the Minister of Finance of the Netherlands Antilles, Curaçao, Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen, August 24, 2009. Ladies and gentleman, 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 Central Bank of Aruba, 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 U.S. dollars 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.
