  • Guyana Country Packet Updated January 2017
    Guyana Country Packet Updated January 2017 Maranatha in Guyana In 2017, the Seventh-day Adventist Church will commemorate 130 years of activity in Guyana. Their work over the years has resulted in 54,000 members and 214 congregations meeting each Sabbath. At one time, the Adventist Church operated several schools in Guyana, but in 1976, the government prohibited all private schools. The policy has now changed, but the Adventist Church has not yet re-started any schools in the country. Seeking to change this, church leadership has made a commitment to start a new school. Maranatha has committed to construct a new elementary school campus in the capital city of Georgetown. The current scope of Maranatha’s involvement will begin with the school campus and a few church buildings and will be fully defined as the project evolves. Maranatha will offer the first volunteer projects in the spring of 2016. Volunteer Opportunities In Guyana, Maranatha will focus on the construction of a One-Day School campus in Georgetown as well as One-Day Church frames located throughout the country. Volunteer projects typically combine construction with community outreach in the form of medical clinics and children’s programs. However, the details of each project vary, depending on the volunteers, availability of opportunities, and needs of the local church. Project Funding The local church is responsible for providing the land and labor to excavate the site. Maranatha has agreed to raise funds to help subsidize the building costs in Guyana. These funds are provided by donations from individuals, churches, school groups, and businesses as well as the donors of the $10 Church program.

  • Cape Verde: the Case for Euroization
    CAPE VERDE: THE CASE FOR EUROIZATION João Loureiro Manuel M.F. Martins Ana Paula Ribeiro [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] CEMPRE*, Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto Rua Dr. Roberto Frias s/n, 4200-464 Porto, Portugal February 2009 PRELIMINARY Abstract After 10 years of a fixed exchange rate against the Euro and a deepening integration with the European Union (EU), the authorities of Cape Verde maintain a strong commitment to nominal stability and are now considering the official euroization of the country. Compared to the current pegging, euroization could be costly if the structural and/or cyclical conditions of Cape Verde were to require control over the interest rates and the exchange rate. Given the strong economic and financial integration between Cape Verde and Europe, and the fact that Cape Verde records inflation rates at levels that are similar to those of the Euro Area (EA), the relevant issue is whether the ECB monetary policy fits the needs of Cape Verde. In order to answer this question, we empirically assess the synchronization between the business cycle of Cape Verde and the business cycle of the EA. For that purpose, we compute output gaps and then use conventional correlation measures as well as other techniques recently suggested in the literature. Replicating the methodology for each of the 27 EU member-states, our results show that Cape Verde ranks better than several EU countries and even some EA countries. We thus conclude that there is a strong case for the euroization of Cape Verde.
