Central American leaders agree on common currency, passport
"A summit of Central American leaders on Friday agreed to adopt a common regional currency and passport, among other measures to bolster regional integration in the face of global financial uncertainty, they said in a statement.
At this time, the financial system is undergoing a very deep crisis that directly affects our countries. The most vulnerable economies, the societies with the highest rates of poverty, logically, are the first to suffer," Honduran President Manuel Zelaya said at the summit opening.
The leaders also agreed on a 41-point "Plan of Emergency Measures" to confront regional financial upheaval that includes a regional credit fund and stimulus programs for the region's farming, consumer and trade sectors."
My question is will the new currency be the amero and they're jumping the gun, or will it be another currency that already exists, or a whole other currency? We won't know more information until Feb. 2009 when their next meeting takes place. Does David read these forums? I thought he'd get a kick in the balls outta hearing this I know I did.
Oh and also note the abysmal lack of coverage in mainstream media. I found a lot of articles in Spanish though.
