Firstly -great to see Susan back-do not stay away for so long again.
I would believe that the U.S.would give Belize up to 50 million dollars to dollarize as a one time payment-they certainly gave ElSalvador far more.
Why you ask? The answer is very simple the poor people keep their money under the bed and huge amounts just stay in the country never to be repatriated which allows the U.S. govt to keep an artifically high dollar rate on the world economy-if you look at Russia/Former Soviet Republics/China -countries which have a non-tradeable currency the only monies everyone wants is U.S. dollars.It is estimated there are trillions of dollars that will bnever get back to the treasury which is why the dollar was taken off the gold standard in the sixties.The U.S. have no idea even approx. how many dollars there are in worldwide circulation and obviously do not care(neither would I if I could print and spend what I wanted to).
The world bank is staffed by basic do-gooders on huge salaries that are vastly overpaid who speak diplomatic language/study graphs and are told by th U.N./Nato/and most of all the U.S. gov't who to give money to no matter what they privately think-example Belize is trying to sell the DFC without releasing the debts/profits(sic) spread sheets-the World Bank restructured the loans only a couple of years ago.
