The announcement and launching of this initiative was made known yesterday at the Radisson during the 7th consolidated line of credit event.

Natalie Ewing-Goff, General Manager, at the DFC stated that the CDB has provided them with 6 previous consolidated lines. But this would be the first time they are actually publicizing, and letting the Belizeans aware of what the DFC is doing.
