We advise the general public to completely disregard these comments and be assured that we, as a central bank, are focused on our mandate of price stability, and doing all within our power to reduce the rising general level of prices,” the statement said.
It added that BoG was doing this guided by our core values of accountability, professionalism and integrity, and in accordance with law.”BoG is also working with other stakeholders, including the law enforcement agencies to discourage and penalise the activities of illegal foreign exchange operators in the country.
“Finally, we advise the public to desist from making any such unfounded allegations in the future and to crosscheck same with BoG,” the statement concluded.
