This paper examines the relationship between government expenditures and economic growth in Suriname from 1971 to 2011. According to the Keynesian theory it is the government's responsibility to stimulate or dampen economic growth within the country by using fiscal policy. For the last decade Suriname has experienced sustained economic growth.

The CBvS operates the national payments system of Suriname. At present, Suriname has no electronic inter-bank payment systems and all clearing and settlement of inter-bank payments (including cheques) is carried out semi-manually. In the near future, the Central Bank wishes to introduce a modern electronic payment system.

Pursuant to this reserve requirement arrangement the Commercial Banks are required to maintain a cash reserve with CBvS in the form of non interest bearing deposits.

The required reserve will be determined as a percentage of the ‘Reserve Base’. Since October 20, 2004 the reserve ratio is set at 30 %.

This reserve ratio may be adjusted based on the experiences gained in the operations of the system. The ‘Reserve Base’ includes all accounts held by the public in Suriname dollars id est: demand deposits, saving deposits, time deposits and other funds held by the public in the Commercial Banks.

Since January 1, 2007 the reserve ratio is reduced from 27% to 25%.
