However, a favorable outlook for inflation suggests that there may be no need for further tightening in the second half of the year."

this is one way of reducing or incresing the money dupply not printing at Kanilai. They needs to decrease the rediscount which i believe is the interest on loans.

Toubab, i hope the above information might be helpful. bye and i dont call myself an economist yet instead an economics students who loves to talk about the subject matter.

Printing money is one way of raising revenue and i believe is called "Seigniorage" and the negative side is it causes inflation cause their will be more money chasing few goods and prices are likely to go up. Milton Fridman said "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon" tHis simply means inflation could be control by increasing and decreasing the money supply. During the great depression in the United states of america banks were closing and prices were skyrocketing and Milton Of the chicago school of economics and monetarism was telling what to do but noone was listening and they eventually did what he said Did i answer your question Brother KOBO. fOR THE gAMBIA OUR HOMELAND

Ylowe Thanks! There is this PROBLEM of DIS-EQUILIBRIUM (COUNTER-BALANCE) between AMOUNT OF DALASIS FOR FOREX. As a layman I thought that can be fixed by easily PRINT MORE DALASIS AND CIRCULATE THEM.

Any MULTIPLIER EFFECTS on the ECONOMY and the FISCAL POLICY for PRINTING MORE DALASI (WHEN ITS REQUIRED OR NECESSARY). You can elaborate further please!

Its both financial (ACCOUNTS OF THE CENTRAL BANK)and technical (may apply to the real world or not realistic to suit the realities of a typical economy for e.g The Gambia).

Supported by DATA AND INFORMATION from Central government insitutions (e.g The Accountant General on Treasury, revenues & expenditures interpretation; Department of Statistics on data / statistics on the economy including trade, agriculture, tourism, employment, production etc)

For different USERS needs & interpretation(i.e Financial Analyst, Technicians, Economists, Statisticians, politicians, Donor Agencies, IMF & World Bank amongst others); naturally may not be useful to others (laymen, iiliterates and those lacking technical competence).

There may be different conflicting views then on this report to reflect the reality on the Gambian economy.

Overall one can sideline or ignore this report and assess the economy on the masses (costs of living). E.g. Check rices of basic commodities and travelling around The country; Cost of a cup of sugar is D35, A good candle cost D25 to D50; etc to make sense about The ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT.

Well.there's a slapdown for me, I suppose I fall within the group of "laymen,illiterates and those lacking technical competence"
a bit sad really,normal people are not wanted within this topic obviously.If you pay D35 for a cup of sugar and D25 to D50 for a good candle,I am pleased that I fall into the above group and I don't shop at the market you use!

TOUBAB. Sorry is that how you appreciate my points above? You are a NORMAL PERSON but also literate and very SMART to understand basic dynamics of the economy in terms of CONSUMER THEORY OF DEMAND & SUPPLY (PRICE, CONSUMPTION, MARKETS, PRODUCTION, JOBS, TRADE, CUSTOMERS & SUPPLIERS).

However I may err a bit but was trying to show a particular category of group that don't bother about this so-called good structural adjustment report of 7% on The Central Bank report. Those common CONSUMERS (indeed NORMAL PERSONS) understand real life situations; in particular have a sound purchasing power and afford means of survival as they endure with INFLATION, EXPENSIVE COMMODITIES, MEAGRE SALARIES AND LACK OF JOBS.

Thanks!

OK I take it that you accept perhaps you could have worked with your words with a little more care,so that readers would not make the implication that I did,which you did not intend.

The TECHNICAL COMPETENCE is indeed relevant for SOUND ANALYSIS and INTERPRETATION of certain INFORMATION but EFFECTIVE COMUNICATION SKILLS to ensure MESSAGES are received and understood is another ISSUE (ART!)

I must acknowledge that its no points scoring but interesting interactions, EDUCATION and FUNFARE (Bantaba's diversity & open forum) and there are bound to be breakdown of communications at times.

Supply and demand rule in the real world and consequently reflect prices of commodities and everything else.
