Transparency, accountability, and communication are hallmarks of good central banking, more so than independence. This was the key message of leading economists at this webinar. The discussion focused on the global evolution of the Central Bank Independence (CBI) debate and merits and demerits of CBI in Pakistan’s context.
Eminent speakers included Prof. Dr Paul Wachtel from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, USA; Dr Shamshad Akhtar, former Governor State Bank of Pakistan; Prof. Dr Shahida Wizarat, Dean, College of Economics & Social Development, Institute of Business Management (IOBM); and Dr Usman W. Chohan, Director, Economic Affairs & National Development, CASS.
