First time in history central bank is removed from Finance ministry because Ranil wants it to be under him. Yet we have the Finance minister predicting about the rupee. what a joke this turned out to be.

Ideally the Central Bank should not come under Finance ministry. Central bank responsible for Monetary policy and need to be independent. Finance ministry responsible for Fiscal policy so at least Treasury and Central bank in two ministries is good

I know that the present setup is not the best but comparatively better than previous setup where one of the election campaigner made the governer of the central bank. We couldn’t expect the overnight change of policies to a good governance system but progressive steps would be good to achieve good governance. Mostly the people of the country should value the good governance prior to our politicians practice it.

Come on! Arjun Mahendran is also just that. A Ranil’s man who comes from abroad to head BOI and now Central Bank every time Ranil wins an election. He goes back to his country after Ranil loses. How dangerous is that?

ideally the central bank shud be reporting to the parliament and not to any ONE minister. look at the US system; the fed chair reports to the congress, though appointed by the president and ratified by senate. look at english system, the governor is appointed by the queen and reports to parliament. many other examples of independence from a single authoritative person, instead to a body of governance. it does not matter whether the central bank is under one minister and finance ministry is under another. all jokers are in the same boat , eating from the same hotel and talking the same bullshit !!!

That’s fuzzy economics. Everyone raises interest rates to defend a currency, not lowers it. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-13/bank-of-ghana-unexpectedly-raises-benchmark-interest-rate-to-22-
