The Center for Research and Communication
was founded in 1967 as a private, non-stock, non-profit research
institution serving the needs of the business community for economic
information. It pioneered in economic forecasting and industry
analysis, regularly communicating economic forecasts and industry
studies through written reports, briefings, conferences and seminars.
Soon after, CRC started to offer graduate degree courses to complement
the training of its research staff.
CRC today is in the process of further
rationalizing its operations by creating new divisions to achieve a
greater focus in sectors that have in recent years become integral to
the economic development of the country. By establishing divisions that
will concentrate on knowledge work for the tourism and information
technology industries among others, CRC hopes to help shape policy in
these areas that will help to realize their full potential in the near
future.
Throughout the years, CRC has kept the
tradition of balancing scholarly research and active engagement in
policy debates and reforms. Taking advantage of the opportunities
arising from new technologies and the advent of a borderless world to
expand the scope of its mission, today's CRC continues to follow this
tradition of harnessing knowledge for progress.
