Commentary |
|
|
The reappointment of Ben
Bernanke as chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board is lauded by some and
disparaged by those who are critical of the notion of central bank independence.
Howard Davies, director of the London School of Economics, asserts that
Bernanke's policies, a throwback to the Greenspan age, have critics in doubt
over his continued suitability, which has, in turn, been tangled in a broader
critique of the Fed's actions. |

|
|
Over the past few decades, the International
Monetary Fund became associated with excessive
fiscal austerity, extreme political insensitivity,
and – since the Asian financial crisis of
1997through1998 – with an out-and-out stigma.

when all else failed – and when there was simply no
other way to pay for essential imports. |

Libya, the club of the African heads of state would
be one that is boring, even to the thousands of
delegates themselves. Credit goes, in earnest, to
him for spicing up the African Union (AU) summits -
wherever they are held. |

"Civil
servants remain at their jobs if they become EPRDF (Ethiopian People's
Revolutionary Democratic Front) members." |
|
Gebru
Asrat, public relations head of the opposition party Forum for
Justice and Democratic Dialogue, told the Amharic weekly
newspaper, Negadras, on February 12, 2010. Academic
freedom has been influenced to the extent that if someone wants
to become a director or a schoolteacher, he or she has to become
a member of the ruling party, he said. |
