 Thursday, 05 March 2015 

By responding to our news which appeared on our website on 2nd March 2015 the Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendra told us the following.

"Bond prices go DOWN when interest rates rise. So i m not sure who made any profits. My son in law resigned from Perpetual when I became the Governor of the Central Bank. This story is being spread by a mafia who were controlling the market thru private placements. I did the first 30 year auction since September 2014 and have BANNED private placements since. Interest rates will fall back to 9pct once the shock recedes"
