2006 Annual Report of the Worldwide Database of Complementary Currency Systems

Résumé :

The Worldwide Database of Complementary Currency Systems was designed and launched in 2004 to collect statistics on a broad variety of indicators related to the design and function of all types of complementary currency systems in use in the world today. The reason for collecting this information is to provide an accurate statistical snapshot of different types of systems and identify a set of performance indicators from which to make comparisons. The information is presented in a wide variety of ways: according to the region, country and the indicators listed, in table and graph forms, using both bar and pie charts. The database provides a growing scale of analysis which demonstrates the usefulness of making systematic analysis of the different types of systems and therefore the importance of having a more complete overview of the complementary currency movement.
