Stockbrokers Express Concern Over Bill Seeking To Modify CBN’s Autonomy
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS) and the Association of Securities Dealing Houses of Nigeria (ASHON) have voiced reservations about the proposed amendments to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act No. 7 of 2007. The bill, which has passed its second reading and is scheduled for a public hearing on May 30th, seeks to modify the CBN’s autonomy by subjecting its budget to National Assembly approval and establishing a new coordinating committee for monetary and fiscal policies.

The stakeholders in the capital market warn that the bill could undermine the independence of the CBN, potentially harming the economy. They argue that the changes could introduce political interference in monetary policy decisions, hampering the central bank’s ability to manage the economy effectively and objectively.

The President and Chairman of the Council of CIS, Oluropo Dada, emphasized the pivotal role of the CBN in maintaining economic stability and preserving international credibility. The Chairman of ASHON, Sam Onukwue, highlighted the potential impact on investor confidence, stating that an independent central bank is crucial for maintaining the country’s standing in the global financial community.

The proposed bill could have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s economic policy framework and its position in the global economic landscape. The CBN’s autonomy is crucial for effective monetary policy decisions, and any changes could impact the economy and investor confidence.

What They’re Saying:

 “Safeguarding the independence of the Central Bank of Nigeria is crucial for aligning with global economic best practices and ensuring decisions are driven by sound financial principles, free from undue influence.” – Oluropo Dada, President and Chairman of the Council of CIS

“An independent central bank is a cornerstone for maintaining the country’s standing in the global financial community, which directly affects investor confidence, credit ratings, and the overall economic outlook.” – Sam Onukwue, Chairman of ASHON

 

In Essence:

The proposed bill could undermine the CBN’s autonomy and introduce political interference in monetary policy decisions, potentially harming the economy. The CIS and ASHON are urging caution and consideration of the broader ramifications to ensure the central bank’s operational independence is maintained.
