加纳东部地区阿索格利王国(The Asogli State)国王大酋长(Agbogbomefia)十四世·托比·阿菲德阁下(Togbe Afede XIV)建议对加纳银行(BoG)进行大规模重组,以提高其有效性。
在上月一篇文章中,托比阁下强调,加纳银行维持高利率的政策损害了实体部门,这不是一种审慎的央行战略。
“加纳银行需要进行彻底重组以提高其运营效率,使其目标与国家目标保持一致,并确保真诚地追求社会经济的稳定,维持高利率环境,确保我们的银行,包括加纳银行。以牺牲实体部门为代价获得异常利润,这不是央行的良好做法。”
托比阁下指责央行腐败、财政政策不善和宏观经济管理不善,并强调如果要在正常利率环境中生存,就必须进行重组。
“央行存在的理由不是利润,而是稳定,尽管腐败、糟糕的财政政策和总体宏观经济管理不善是促成因素,但央行却惨遭失败。如果加纳银行能够在正常利率环境中生存,那么重组是必要的。” 托比阁下认为。
托比阁下强调,有必要仔细审查加纳银行的工作人员人数、相关成本和采购做法。
“应注意其治理体系、工作人员人数和费用、采购做法、对前工作人员日益增长的义务以及任务。关于其任务,加纳银行有充分的理由放弃其政府财政管理职能(专注于监管),因为与其利润动机相冲突。“ 托比阁下断言。
Togbe Afede XIV, the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, has recommended a substantial restructuring of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to improve its effectiveness.
In his article dated April 11, 2024, Togbe Afede XIV emphasised that the BoG’s policy of maintaining high interest rates, to the detriment of the real sectors, is not a prudent central banking strategy.
“BOG requires drastic restructuring to make its operations more efficient, and to align its objectives to those of the state and ensure a sincere pursuit of stability. Maintaining a high interest rate environment that ensures that our banks, including BOG, make abnormal profits at the expense of the real sectors is not good central banking practice.”
He accused the BoG of corruption, poor fiscal policy, and macroeconomic mismanagement, stressing the need for restructuring if it is to survive in a normal interest rate environment.
“A central bank’s raison d’etre is not profits, but stability, where BOG has failed woefully, even though corruption and poor fiscal policy and general macroeconomic mismanagement are contributory factors. Restructuring is necessary at BOG, if it should be capable of surviving in a normal interest rate environment,” he opined.
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State emphasised the need to scrutinise the staff numbers of BoG, its associated costs, and its procurement practices.
“Attention should be paid to its governance system, staff numbers and costs, procurement practices, growing obligations to former staff, and mandate. Regarding its mandate, there is a strong case for BOG relinquishing its government treasury management function (to focus on regulation) because of conflict with its profit motivation,” he asserted.
