As a part of the yearly vacation activity, initiated by the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, a few students visited the Central Bank of Suriname (CBvS) on Friday 6 September 2019.
In this context, the Bank developed a special program for the students.

The purpose of this presentation was to teach them what the government’s role is, and that the government can make decisions for Suriname as country. This is based on the three powers; the Judicial, the Executive and the Legislative.
