The Hummingbird - April 2016 | 5 The FEATURE ARTICLE Hummingbird Digital Currency 6 | April 2016 - The Hummingbird n light of the increasing number of national and international financial transactions within the Caribbean region, it is acknowledged that there is a need for better electronic payment systems to be established. The region needs to lower the cost of transactions, including on-line Ibill payments and international remittance services. Digital currencies represent a potential option for improving services and reducing costs, but are challenged in receiving acceptance among consumers and regulators. Many Caribbean countries have long endeavoured to increase national participation in the digital economy. In the case of Trinidad and Tobago, for example, formal efforts to improve the legislative and technological infrastructure to facilitate e-commerce date back to 1999 (National Electronic Commerce Policy Committee, 2000). Read More 7 | February 2016 - The Hummingbird The Hummingbird - April 2016 | 7 Feature Article q&a Digital Currency ECLAC Caribbean, in its work to support member States, recently published a report on the “Opportunities and Risks Associated with the use of Digital Currency in the Caribbean”. ECLAC Associate Knowledge Management Officer Robert Williams shared his views on this topic with The Hummingbird. Q What is ECLAC doing in the field of digital currencies? A ECLAC is researching policy options for Caribbean countries to consider when addressing the increasing use of new digital payment technologies. These technologies include cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, as well as mobile-phone-based payment systems, such as those that have been introduced in Haiti and Jamaica as a means of providing financial services to a population underserved by existing banking infrastructure. ECLAC’s recent report on this topic is aimed at educating regulators about the issues surrounding these technologies. ECLAC is also partnering with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to organize a regional conference on this topic, to be held from 1 -3 June, 2016. Q Why is ECLAC engaging in this field of work: what’s the big deal? A These new payment systems bring new opportunities as well as new risks. On the one hand, opportunities include potential benefits to the e-commerce sector and to its customers, reduced cost of sending and receiving remittance money from overseas, and a broader general engagement by Caribbean citizens with the digital economy. On the other hand, national regulators are concerned with the possibility that digital currencies could be used for money laundering and to facilitate cybercrime, as well as with the potential effects on overall macroeconomic stability. ECLAC’s goal is to help policy makers become familiar with the issues surrounding digital currency, so that they can respond to its emergence in a proactive, not reactive, manner. What has ECLAC and/or its sister UN agencies and government counterparts done Q so far to address issues related to digital currencies in the Caribbean? A At a global level, work has been done by the UN Office of Drugs and Crime to examine how digital currencies can be used to facilitate money laundering and cybercrime. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has looked into the topic of with Robert Crane Williams mobile money as part of its Focus Group on Digital Financial Services. However, this is an emerging issue, and, prior to ECLAC’s engagement on the topic, very little policy research had been carried out on how it will affect the Caribbean region. This is why ECLAC Caribbean has convened Expert Group Meetings, released a report on the topic, and is supporting the upcoming regional conference on Exploring Innovation in Transactions and Financing in the Caribbean. The goal of these efforts is to help policy makers make informed choices that balance consideration of the opportunities provided by innovative payment technologies with the need to mitigate the potential risks entailed by the ongoing adoption of digital currencies. 8 | April 2016 - The Hummingbird Photo of Lamassu Q What is or will be new about the work that ECLAC Caribbean will carry out, compared to what has Bitcoin ATM by been done in the past?

    CARIBBEAN INSIGHT The editorially independent publication of The Caribbean Council 3 February 2014 Volume 37, Number 5 Political discontent grows over Barbados’ economy Divisions within Barbados’ ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) over economic policy, the island’s ailing economy, and the way in which government and the country is being run, threaten to cause political turmoil. Speaking to journalists on 29 January, the Island’s Agriculture Minister, Dr David Estwick, said that he can no “longer sit silent” on whether the island’s present economic path is the right or wrong one or the path to be pursued. Dr Eastwick said, “this is not the time to be pig headed or this is not the time to close off all options. This is the time for innovation, this is the time for creativity and this is the time that every single option must be evaluated clinically and surgically in the interest of Barbados.” He said he could also not sit by “when this debate is raging on and when the outcome of any action may seriously undermine the stability of this country”. Dr Estwick, who is a former finance minister, said that he is uneasy about the direction of the island’s economy and is promising to make public his position in the coming weeks when he will make a full statement. “I am going to make my statement very, very soon on what my position is,” he told reporters, adding, “I was a man before I got into politics, and I can stay one if I am out of it.

NI5903/4 The publication of a double album devoted to Mathilde de Rothschild’s music constitutes a further important step in the reassessment of nineteenth-century women composers. Anyone who is familiar with the cultural life of the time, would be aware of the importance of the Rothschild family who were patrons of many prominent composers, such as Mendelssohn, Herz, Bellini, Spohr, Liszt, Meyerbeer, Rossini and Chopin. The latter, in 1849, was eager to teach the teenaged “Rothschild girl,” whom he clearly considered very talented. Mathilde went on to become a respected, prolific and well-published composer of beautiful music.

    west coast music Everyday People Please find attached the ‘Everyday People’ song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES: Please note that we will need to have your special dance requests, (i.e. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, etc) FOUR WEEKS prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and so that we have time to locate sheet music and audio. In cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is needed, this gives us time to properly prepare the music. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. If you desire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we would ask for a minimum 80 requests. ‘LOW ROTATION REQUESTS: We will also need any General Requests that are chosen from the ‘Low Rotation’ portion of this song list (pages 8-9) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event. The songs from the ‘Low Rotation’ section are not in the active Everyday People song rotation, so the band would need the extra time to prepare them MODERN/TOP 40 24k Magic – Bruno Mars Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen A Thousand Years – Christina Perri Call You Girlfriend - Robyn Adorn – Miguel Can’t Feel My Face – The Weeknd Ascension – Maxwell Can’t Hold
