					  <link>http://www.dexia.dm/news/articles/36/1/Relocating-vendors-to-the-New-Roseau-Market/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Vending of marketable commodities along the city streets and sidewalks of Roseau remains a perennial problem.

					  <title>Repositioning DEXIA in a Globalized Environment</title>
					  <link>http://www.dexia.dm/news/articles/33/1/Repositioning-DEXIA-in-a-Globalized-Environment/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>The DEXIA Act of 1986 made a radical move towards government's intervention in facilitating the development of the agricultural sector. 
At that time banana was king and the non-traditional agricultural sector
was making significant contributions to the national economy.  There were justifiable concerns regarding output and the disposal of that output in regional and international markets. DEXIA in those early days
performed the role of facilitator and did not take title to goods.</description>
