  • 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.

However, there are addi- tional codes beginning with ‘X’ that are requested by the European Commission for some statistics and the breakdown of countries may vary between datasets. For bank related data it is import- ant to have separate data for Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man, whereas researchers of the real economy have an interest in small territories like Ceuta and Melilla that are not always covered by ISO-3166. Countries that are treated differently in different statistics are described below. These are – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – France – Spain – Former Yugoslavia – Serbia United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • Prospects for a Monetary Union in the East Africa Community: Some Empirical Evidence
    Department of Economics and Finance Working Paper No. 18-04 , Guglielmo Maria Caporale, Hector Carcel Luis Gil-Alana Prospects for A Monetary Union in the East Africa Community: Some Empirical Evidence May 2018 Economics and Finance Working Paper Series Paper Working Finance and Economics http://www.brunel.ac.uk/economics PROSPECTS FOR A MONETARY UNION IN THE EAST AFRICA COMMUNITY: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE Guglielmo Maria Caporale Brunel University London Hector Carcel Bank of Lithuania Luis Gil-Alana University of Navarra May 2018 Abstract This paper examines G-PPP and business cycle synchronization in the East Africa Community with the aim of assessing the prospects for a monetary union. The univariate fractional integration analysis shows that the individual series exhibit unit roots and are highly persistent. The fractional bivariate cointegration tests (see Marinucci and Robinson, 2001) suggest that there exist bivariate fractional cointegrating relationships between the exchange rate of the Tanzanian shilling and those of the other EAC countries, and also between the exchange rates of the Rwandan franc, the Burundian franc and the Ugandan shilling. The FCVAR results (see Johansen and Nielsen, 2012) imply the existence of a single cointegrating relationship between the exchange rates of the EAC countries. On the whole, there is evidence in favour of G-PPP. In addition, there appears to be a high degree of business cycle synchronization between these economies. On both grounds, one can argue that a monetary union should be feasible.

  • 'An Internationalised Rupee?'
    First Draft Speech for DG (SG) – March 6, 2006 ‘An Internationalised Rupee?’ I. Concept of Currency Internationalisation A currency can be termed ‘international’ if it is widely accepted across the world as a medium of exchange. Broadly, internationalisation of currency is characterized by the following: (a) payments for international transactions can be made in that currency; (b) both residents and non-residents can hold financial assets/liabilities denominated in that currency; and (c) freedom for non-residents to hold tradable currency balances, even beyond the territory of the issuing country. It is an indicator of the confidence that the external economy has in the economy of the issuing country, as it integrates with the global economy. Limited or full use of an ‘internationalised’ currency as legal tender in certain other countries is a possibility. Further, limited internationalisation within a geographical region is also possible. For example, the South African rand (ZAR) has the attributes and characteristics of an ‘international currency’ in the neighboring countries viz., Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho. However, internationalisation of a currency does not necessarily require removal of all capital controls and it is consistent with a regime characterised by less than full capital mobility. The main economic factors underpinning internationalisation of currency are: (a) domestic stability which makes the currency attractive as a store of value; (b) a well-developed financial system with deep and liquid markets offering participants a wide range of services and products in terms of borrowing, investing and hedging; and (c) the bigger size of the economy as compared to the world output, financial markets and its significant role in trade, leads the outside world to increase the demand for internationalised currency for transaction purposes, and also to consider the use of such currency when making portfolio decisions.
