CRD Welcome Package

Avoid this for non-technical writing, however • Spell out common fractions, e.g. one-half, three-quarters • Use decimals for numbers that contain both whole numbers and fractions, e.g. 3.14 • Spell out ordinal numbers up to 19, except when using them in the name of an event Example: "The ECCB finished fourth at the Intra-Regional Central Bank Games.", but "The 19th Sir Arthur Lewis Memorial Lecture." Dates and Times The format for dates is: 1 January 2020 The format for writing the time at the hour is: 8:00 a.m. not 8 a.m. or 08:00 a.m. The format for date ranges is: 2019-2020 not 2019-20. Do not put a space before or after the hyphens. Telephone Numbers Use hyphens without spaces between number groups. Start international numbers with the country code, the area code, and the number eg 1-264-235- 5565. Slashes

Use “or” instead of slashes (/). Lists

Use colons to introduce items in a list.

Example: “The Bank’s policy departments are: BMOD, BSD, GIO, RD, and SD.” For lists, use a semi colon at the end of each line and use “and” and “or” at the end of the penultimate line of the list:

Example:
