The statement made by former Minister Wimal Weerawansa on the 2nd that there is a conflict between the Minister of Finance Basil Rajapaksa and the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka is completely untrue, says the Governor of the Central Bank Ajith Nivard Cabraal.
“We also have a responsibility in policy form to refer those policy decisions to the Ministry of Finance and to the Government. So it is our responsibility to direct those policy decisions, study them and inform the government. I fulfill that responsibility as the Chairman of the Monetary Board and the Governor of the Central Bank. So when it comes down to it, maybe different people can interpret it differently while waiting. But I want to say that we are fulfilling that responsibility. ”
Ajith Nivard Cabraal was responding to a question raised by journalists at a media briefing held at the Central Bank Auditorium yesterday (04).
