Gambia Central Bank to reduce money supply in the economy


To control price stability and reduce inflation

The Central Bank of The Gambia (CBG) has issued a directive raising the amount of money that commercial banks in the country have to hold as reserve - amount of cash that they should not loan out to customers. 

Governor Amadou Kolley of the Central Bank
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the CBG has raised the reserve requirement of commercial banks by two percentage points to 12 per cent, a press release from the Bank on Monday stated.  
 
The higher the reserve requirement is set, the less cash banks will have to loan out, leading to lower money in circulation.

The rationale behind this impromptu decision is to withdraw excess Dalasi liquidity out of the economy and thus help preserve price stability, the release affirmed. 

This is one of the additional measures the CBG has taken to restore stability and transparency in the foreign exchange market.

The decision follows a recent decision of the MPC, early this month, when it increased the policy rate by two percentage points to 14 per cent.

The measure was intended to enhance the attractiveness of Dalasi assets and to dampen inflationary pressures.
 
At that time, the MPC also indicated that it would closely monitor developments as well as take additional measures it deemed absolutely necessary.

According to the press release, the MPC in its monitoring has observed that activities in the foreign exchange market continue to exert pressure on the change rate of the Dalasi. 

Such activities like disorderly market conditions, characterised by high exchange rate volatility and wide bid-offer spreads, create inflationary pressure and stifle economic growth

Elimination of speculation activities

The other measure taken by the CBG is reducing the overnight net open position limits of banks and licensed finance companies for each currency from 15 per cent of adjusted capital and reserves to 10 per cent.  It also reduced the overnight overall net open position from 25 per cent of adjusted capital and reserves to 15 per cent. 
 
“This is intended to help eliminate possible speculative activities, increase the flow of foreign exchange in the market and reduce banks’ exposure to exchange rate risk,” the CBG press release indicated.

In the release, the CBG reiterated that it would uphold the market determined exchange rate regime, but would not tolerate actions that thwart the smooth functioning of the foreign exchange market. 

“Licensed foreign exchange dealers engaged in alleged speculative activities or hoarding meant to manipulate the Dalasi exchange rate would be severely sanctioned,” the regulatory bank warned.

Additionally, the release stated that the CBG would continue to work with the Gambia Police Force to curb the destabilising activities of the illegal foreign exchange operators.

  7. As an added benefit, internet radio offers music at a better quality than traditional radio.

    These gadgets also have USB ports where you can also connect any
    device you have. Given the manner in which the internet
    and the World Wide Web have invaded our lives over the
    past many years, it is hardly surprising that music or rather the radio would be one of the areas being dominated by the internet.
