He added, “The Central Bank Law No. 56 of 2004 is an independent body according to Article 3 of this law and also the Central Bank’s instructions for the year 2017, and therefore it is the one that determines the exchange rate and if there is an increase in the price, it is necessary to control market prices and prevent inflation that will increase poverty.“.
