Tax increase necessary to balance BoP: Cabraal

Even though the recent increase in import duty may create some difficulty for importers it is to be seen an essential step to adjust the trade imbalance and prevent a severe balance of payments deficit, Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal said today.
If the ever widening deficit in the balance of payments continued uncontrolled or without any reduction, the imbalance would have been a bigger risk to the economy, Mr. Cabraal added.
The only area where we have some concern is the trade deficit as at the end of May last year. The policy measures we have put in place have shown results and the positive impact has already been seen. We are confident that the results will be seen by the end of 2012, Mr. Cabraal said. |
