The Central Bank (CB) estimates growth of 8 per-cent for 2010 and expects 8.5 per-cent growth in 2011 with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator of 6 per-cent, according to the CB Road Map for 2011.
The BOP surplus is expected to be US$ 350 Million and the overall budget deficit is expected to decline in 2011 to 6.8 per-cent of GDP.
Central Bank Governor Ajith N. Cabraal also announced that Foreign Exchange Controls would be relaxed in the coming year.
All registered financial companies are expected to list on the CSE by June 2011, according to the CB.(DS)

Only the anticipation will grow,not the economy.This Cabraal is a real thief.He has proved it from his own action so far.

O yes, we should believe Ajith N. Cabraal. Huh!! This is a bunch of nonsense as are his previous statements and future statements.

No one needs to mislead the polititians...they are capable of doing so ll by themselves.

Whoever believed any figures coughed up by the CB to be true- always the rosey picture but never the truth!

Who made the caculations. Was it it ANC. Then one can imagine what kind of results you will receive at the end of 2011. This guy does not even know the 12 times tables. what can you expect from him. Only rubbish statements.

At this rate CB will keep a record on Manipulation at the highest! Nobody feels the impact of any growth, only those enjoy government perks feel it, for obvious reasons. How SAD!
Jagath Tuesday, 04 January 2011 08:55 AM
