Salary hike exaggerated to erode independence: Dr. Weerasinghe
Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe
- Cautions that undermining independence could take SL back to troubled state
- Says using salary issue to change law is a major risk
The recent uproar over the Central Bank’s salary increases has caught widespread attention and according to Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, this controversy is a deliberate attempt to undermine the institution’s autonomy.
He cautioned that exaggerating the salary increases to undermine the financial sector regulator’s independence could severely impact the economy, potentially regressing it to its troubled state just a few years ago.
“Our need for the Central Bank independence in setting wages and salaries for the staff is quite important to avoid undue influence from the fiscal authorities. That was the issue earlier.
The salary issue we can talk temperately if it is immoral or unethical. That we can discuss separately. But using this issue to oppose the Central Bank or compromise the independence by changing law is a major risk,” he added.
While this is not the first time the Central Bank has reviewed salaries, Dr. Weerasinghe pointed out that it is the first time that the institution has gone public with the revision.
“We are transparent. We are coming out and telling Parliament on the increase and why we have increased (salaries and wages). We are being accountable,” he said.
Dr. Weerasinghe cautioned that the end result of the Central Bank losing its independence would be another crisis.
“An example of that was seen in 2019. The Central Bank new bill was initiated but a policy decision was taken by the administration that came into power that the institution does not need independence and that fiscal dominance must be asserted.
We all learnt lessons of that in the next two years. With the independence of the Central Bank, we were able to bring back the stability. But people are now forgetting the value of independence and trying to compromise that,” Dr. Weerasinghe said.
Earlier this week, the Central Bank was slammed in Parliament for the salary hike, with the MPs frowned upon the move, stating it is a violation of the law.
At the party leaders’ meeting, it was highlighted that the hike could cost an extra sum of Rs.232 million monthly.

If the opinions of the members of parliament were valid and, always in the best interests of the country, we would not be in the mess we are in. If we wish to retain the best or hire the best; then we have to pay at world parity rates. Otherwise, shut up and stop complaining about the brain drain.

Don't try to bambooz the illiterate public by taking about autonomy. This has nothing to do with imaginable salary hikes when public servants and private sector is fighting so hard to get a 10 thousand ruppee salary increase. Shame on you to award the highest raise to your self.

Brain drain from SLCB officials? Who wants to employ them?. Perhaps in the Middle East yes, but not in any developed country. They will be hard pressed to get a junior analyst job. They can go to Uganda, may be.

Hey CBSL Chief, Let it be known that you did not even make 20% of what you earn today in our poor third world country before coming back to CBSL (under the sponsorship of GOTA) to whitewash and prop-up disgusting Rajapaksa clan. You are at best an opportunist not a credible banker just like others before you all political stooges. What a shame, you got caught this time with your pants down.

Responsibility of economic revival or bankruptcy is on shoulders of CB, but they didn’t take any action till the country proclaimed bankcrupt, if CB advertises its vacancies it can absorb required number without problem but that they keep for relatives or for ministers close supporters but one thing is fair,to face this dangerous economic situation every one of the country needs this much of salary increase

Mr. Nandalal, you are right. The Central Bank needs to have its independence and certainly not be judged by the corrupt 225 who have violated the people by robbing and tarnishing the image and potential of this country. Having said that, Sri Lanka is gradually emerging from the crisis of 2 years ago and corporate Sri Lanka is leading the charge. Despite this we are still unable to pay staff salaries let alone increase salaries to be in line with inflationary pressures and demands on the common man’s purse. By the action that the Central Bank is increasing its salaries at this time, it sends the wrong message that other companies and corporates can do/ should do the same. We can’t at least not yet as we are still on recovery mode absorbing losses caused by bad policy decisions and poor leadership. Therefore I request you to be sensitive to the challenges to the larger business community when you make such decisions.

Ultimately, what happened, no one is willing; even to express the interest for investment and restructure. Ordinary low grade office assistant receiving a salary, approximately Rs.188,000/- per month. Nande, do not try blackmail the government by talking about independence.

History as they say will keep repeating because of a segment of the Sri Lankan population who are dimwitted imbeciles.

No one will like the independence of the Central Bank diluted with legislators views. As a governing Bank of the country in any salary increase should be compatible with the professional qualifications and experience with other similar government organisations. Professionals have left the shores of this country due to injustices of salary structures in similar grades. No one is indispensable and if employees opt to leave there could be a vacuum but after a period of time it will be adjusted with new talent fitting these lots. Any organisation will never close as employees leave but there could be operational hiccups in the smooth functioning of organisations for a short time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Undoubtedly the man is right. However, he is not suitable for this job. He constantly makes economically wrong decisions (manipulating the inflation rate, manipulating the foreign exchange rates, not allowing the rupee to free float, not devaluing the rupee). Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe also held a senior position in the central bank under Gota, made or supported wrong decisions and is therefore complicit in the country's bankruptcy.

Finally we can see the thru colours of Dr Nandalal and his intentions around drafting the new CBSL Act. Whilst there is some merit to increasing the salaries of highly skilled and experienced staff, there is no merit in increasing the salary of the lowest grade employee to Rs 188k, which is much higher than the salaries of Secretaries of other Ministries, Teachers, Doctors,etc. He started off by asking the people to tighten their belts and preached austerity. But has done exactly the opposite! In addition these massive salaries, the Central Bank staff enjoy some of the best perks in the country such as 1% housing loans, study scholarships etc. Are the CBSL staff paying taxes on their salaries and benefits?

These issues do not need to go public. Right now the country is on a recovery process. Just like a person who is recovering from a major health trauma, the people and the economic development has to be safe guarded. From a psychological point of view (which a vast majority of people tend to not understand), a positive mind set is essential for a country to develop. Politicians and their cronies has always played and abused people's minds. If you look at how road rules have been completely eroded now, people are so aggressive it shows the mind set of ordinary citizens frustrations. This sort of publicity further undermines the road to recovery in all aspects. CBSL also should understand what should be publicised and what shouldn't. Whether it's for good or bad. Ultimately follow the norm in some circumstances because recovery is what we all especially the public is sacrificing right now with massive taxes and expenses being incurred. Don't let politicians take further advantage.

Dr. Nandalal you walked right into it by trying to fix a huge anomally in one year. You and the country should be happy that the 225 did not compare your new salaries and started to believe that like what your team said about commercial bank chairperson get fancy salaries and therefore cbsl should get better salaries - now imagine if the 225 says they should get even more than the cbsl? yes that argument is in a way correct, but then the people should only elect suitable qualified people. But then in Sri Lanka we have a Min of Justice with a doctorate and a law qualification and yet we sink like the express pearl.

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 07 March 2024 10:00 AM
Independence is a necessity for Central Bank, however excessive salary increase is another. If it is true that a Office Assistant will take home a salary of over Rs. 150,000.00, then this is a absurdity given that in much higher profiteering Companies such a salary is not paid for this same rank. Further, Central Bank has not performed during the past years, this is a fact, otherwise their will not be so many Central Bank registered Finance Companies cheating their depositors and this list goes on and on. Remember, salary increase to CB Staff does not guarantee they will not get influenced by Politicians. It is the ethics and principles of a person that helps in not getting influenced and performing illegal activities.

We want to stop the Brain-Drain; but still continue paying peanuts. We want the Police to stop taking bribes, but pay them peanuts and, expect them to support their families. Apparently, the monthly wage of the lowest rank employee in the CBSL will be Rs 188,000. Let me put this in perspective; this is the average WEEKLY wage of a clerk in Australia. Why would people want to stay in Sri Lanka ?

For a month, it will be Rs 400,000. A train trip from a suburb to City is $10 - Rs 2,000. Don't talk nonsense. SL can't afford first world salaries for doing nothing.

If you align salary increments with inflation, you start a vicious cycle that becomes hard to stop. That's why high inflation expectations are worse than high current inflation because it influences wage inflation. If central bankers give themselves 70% salary increases, that sends inflation expectations through the roof.
