The Committee On Public Finance (CoPF) has recommended to delay the Central Bank’s decision to increase the salaries of the institution, until a clear, fair solution is reached in a manner that does not harm the independence of the CBSL.
The CoPF report including this recommendation was presented to Parliament by CoPF chairman – Dr. Harsha de Silva.
Noting that the Minister of Finance, with the approval of the Governor of the Central Bank, has recommended to immediately appoint an independent committee to consider the salary increase, the MP had urged a report in this regard should be presented to the CoPF within 04 weeks.
