Santo Domingo.- The Dominican and the Central American governments approved further studies of monetary and financial development, including creating a joint currency and a plan of urgent measures to confront the financial crisis, and creating a credit pool to spur interregional trade.
The measure came after a meeting of the Central American Integration System (SICA), held in December in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where the leaders gathered for their 33rd meeting.
