Each ambassador then proceeded to cut the ribbon at the border post of his country, in a symbolic gesture that marked the opening of a common market within the East African Community (EAC).]]></description>

Specifically the audit will investigate the Federal Reserve's economic crisis response programs.

		<description><![CDATA[It is well known that the UK is a nation of early adopters and as such has been watched by many a pundit for signs of paradigm shifts. The institution of cash as a preferred payment medium is one of those unassailable paradigms. Or is it? It was recently reported by the UK Payments Council that for the first time it is predicted that cash will make up less than 50% of payments, perhaps as soon as 2015.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent report by the Payments Council – the body responsible for setting the strategy for payments in the UK - should be a wake-up call to us all in the currency industry. Although the report covers the UK only, it is a trend that is typical of payment systems in many countries around the world. In summary, it documents a decline in the use of cash in the last decade and forecasts a further decline, detailing changes that have been taking place gradually, but steadily. Is this a case of ‘death by a thousand cuts?’ And, if so, is there anything we can do about it?]]></description>
