5.Strengthening Payment Systems
Objectives
17. 1.Maintaining Price Stability with Growth
The fundamental task of the central bank is to preserve the value of the
currency. The understanding of the centrality of price stability has evolved over
the years, and it is worthwhile to review selectively recent developments in
thinking about this aspect of the role of the central bank, with an emphasis on
unsettled and controversial issues.
2.Broadening Access to Financial Sector
Financial inclusion is considered a prerequisite for sustainable economic
growth as it not only facilitates financial intermediation but also allows poor
people to undertake profitable investments and earn interest income on
savings1 .
18. 3. Ensuring Soundness of Financial Sector
State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), as per its legal mandate, is entrusted with the
responsibility of securing monetary stability and soundness of the financial
system. The monetary policy objective of price stability includes financial stability
as a secondary objective, which in turn ensures the soundness of financial system.
4.Exchange Rate and Reserve Management
Reserves consist of official public sector foreign assets that are readily available to
and controlled by the monetary authorities. Reserve management activities may
also encompass the management of liabilities, other short foreign
exchange positions, and the use of derivative financial instruments.
19. 5.Strengthening Payment Systems
This project aims to support Central Bank of Madagascar to strengthen
the legal/regulatory framework for payment systems, establish the
payment oversight function, and strengthen financial consumer
protection framework, thereby enhancing the contribution of payment
systems to financial inclusion through provision of responsible financial
products and services.
20. Trade liberalization is thought
to promote efficient utilization
of resources through enhancing
competition leading to efficient
allocation of resources, which
assists in the overall growth
process. Thus trade
liberalization is deemed to have
strong and positive correlation
with economic growth
Impact
21. However, trade liberalization could also generate
excess demand for imports leading to worsening of the
CAB of the country. According to Khan and Zahler
(1985), “trade liberalization may promote growth from
the supply side but, if the balance of payments
worsens, growth may be adversely affected from the
demand side because the payments deficits resulting
from liberalization are usually unsustainable and not
easily rectified by relative price (real exchange rate)
changes
22. Pakistan has liberalized its trade regime throughout the
1990s and the process of reforms is still going on.18 As a
result average effective tariff rate has fallen to 14.9
percent in 2006 from around 40 percent in the beginning
of 1990s (see Figure 7.1.1).
In recent years, however, trade liberalization has coincided
with the deterioration in the CAD which has swelled to US$
7.1 billion (4.9 percent of GDP) in FY07. The objective of
this study is therefore to empirically investigate the impact
of trade liberalization on the CAB of Pakistan
