Chamber to host Sir Courtney Blackman

If you have an interest in Belize’s economy, the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry is offering a chance to speak to someone who knows what it’s all about. On Thursday evening the Chamber will be hosting a business mixer with Sir Courtney Blackman as the guest speaker. Blackman, a former governor of the Central Bank of Barbados, has also served as that country’s ambassador to the United States. He has authored a number of books and is considered an expert on central banking in developing countries. His topic on Thursday will be “The pros and cons of dollarisation.” The mixer starts at 5:30 at the Radisson. A five-dollar charge will be collected at the door to defray the costs of food.
