A credible central bank can effectively lead the process of financial sector reform in a developing country. This book discusses central banking issues and offers a clear path to building credible central banks in emerging economies.

'Dr. Noël K. Tshiani's book should be required reading for students of central banking everywhere, for staff members of central banks and ministers of finance and their staff, as well as for legislators, especially in developing countries afflicted by high inflation and collapsing currencies'
