Pada and BoM fail to convince markets !
Pada and the BoM had argued that “ …the job of central banks is the pursuit of price stability, not profit maximisation.”
Typical Central Bank’s response : there is no cause for concern. They can always print money !!!
They also argue that other CBs are also making losses.

BOM Kaput updated
The Bank of Mauritius (BoM) capital is totally impaired, which will weigh down heavily on the central bank’s effectiveness in achieving monetary policy and financial stability objectives.
The latest statement of financial position published by the BoM reveals that an accumulated loss of of Rs11 bn was recorded between end June 22 and end Oct 22. BoM capital and reserves at end Oct 22 are thus totally completely wiped out, following losses in August, Sept, and Oct 22.
