(Bloomberg) — Brazil’s central bank president, Ilan Goldfajn, calls for a law to guarantee the bank’s autonomy in an interview with Por Sinal, the central bank union magazine.
* “I think it is important that we stop being one of the few countries that does not have a law for the autonomy of the central bank,” Goldfajn said in the interview.
* Goldfajn added that the law should set out the government’s mandate for the bank and the freedom for the bank to achieve that objective. Such a law would also have to be accompanied with some kind of budgetary rearrangement to give the central bank the freedom it requires, he said.
* The central bank president also said in the interview that he thinks that such a law will be discussed in 2017.
