PARTLY FACING: This guy can’t answer criticism – Opinion

[ad_1]

“You know it is just not fair that everyone – politicians, economists who have held portfolios in previous governments, the media – have expressed their extreme reservations against the proposed amendment bill. the State Bank of Pakistan cabinet approved and tabled in parliament and… ”

“Most of this bashing is directed against incumbent Governor Reza Baqir who, according to his critics, is engaged in a public relations campaign, which is why he is in the federal capital much of the week …”

“See what’s unfair is that the guy can’t respond to criticism. “

“Well, I’ve seen it twice on a private channel that a governor of a central bank should refrain from – I mean it should be a press conference where all beat journalists are invited or nothing. “

“But is it fair of our politicians to engage in daily denigration …”

Pakistani politicians, at the highest level, including The Khan, Asif Zardari, Nawaz Sharif at the lowest – he’s a badass because a high level today may be lower than a snake tomorrow – anyway, they all learn to denigrate their beginnings in politics… ”

“Just look at the statements of individual politicians this week to confirm your observation, but if the SBP governor is not even allowed to come on a private channel because our politicians are then the poor guy…”

“Hey, Reza Baqir he denigrates less than Azam Khan!” I mean, I don’t see Azam Khan defending himself or himself from the decisions / actions that people claim to be due to his influence with the prime minister… ”

“I can’t compare the two men. Azam Khan is a product of this system, he understands it unlike Baqir… but I think there is another way for Baqir to defend himself that will silence his detractors once and for all.

“Apart from participating in a massive fumigation campaign …”

“Don’t be facetious, what I meant is that the SBP has a research department which, if I remember correctly, is headed by a former IMF member, who was allegedly attracted by the governor to join the SBP, so why doesn’t he ask this department to do it why they were hired.

“Well, they’re doing polls now …”

“I think the Bank should let the private sector undertake perception surveys and should instead focus on researching the impact of decisions taken since May 6, 2019, the date of Baqir’s appointment, especially those that were in contradiction with past practice based on previous research, eg linking the discount rate to headline inflation instead of core inflation… ”

“And allow the rupee to be undervalued, which has an impact on inflation?” “

“The Khan has publicly admitted that his team was inexperienced when they took office, but a central bank governor does not have the luxury of that defense.”

“It’s true.”
