He stood as a candidate for the 1967 General Elections in Constituency of Beau Bassin and Petite Rivière under the banner of the PMSD, and was returned Third Member to serve the said Constituency. In 1969, he stood as a candidate for the Municipal Council Elections in Ward II of the town of Quatre Bornes and was elected to serve as Municipal Councillor. In 1974, he became Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government, a post which he held until 1976. Mr Sham also contested the General Elections in 1976 under the banner of the Unité des Travaillistes Libéraux in Constituency No. 12, Mahebourg and Plaine Magnien, and was not elected.

Duval): Madam Speaker, I associate myself to the tribute made by the hon. Prime Minister to late Mr Hurry Parsad Sham, known affectionately to his friends as Sham Panchoo. Sham Panchoo was elected to the National Assembly as a Member of the PMSD in 1967, but although he left the Party for a short while, it is to be remembered that he returned to the PMSD and, upon his death, Madam Speaker, he insisted that his body be laid surrounded by two blue PMSD flags. May I also request the Clerk to convey our condolences to the bereaved family. Madam Speaker: Hon.

Mr Wong Yen Cheong: Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. Leader of the Opposition for his interest in the activities of the National Empowerment Foundation (NEF) inasmuch as he himself was from May 2010 to August 2011 the Minister of Social Integration and Economic Empowerment. His Private Notice Question gives me the opportunity to state facts on the NEF and my Ministry, in light of the comments made by the Director of Audit. Madam Speaker, in fact, I have not waited for the comments of the Director of Audit to have meetings with those responsible for the NEF, and I shall continue to do so to find workable solutions to problems encountered by the NEF. Madam Speaker, I wish to inform the House that as soon as I took cognizance of the comments of the Director of Audit in her Report for the period 01 July 2017 to 30 June 2018, I personally chaired a meeting with the Chairman of the NEF Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, other officials of the Foundation and my Ministry on Thursday 28 March 2019, to look into the comments made by the Director of Audit and to take remedial actions on the observations made. It was noted that the Financial Statements for the period 01 January 2016 to 30 June 2017 have already been prepared and are presently being examined by the National Audit Office. The Financial Statements for the period 01 July 2017 to 30 June 2018 have already been submitted to the National Audit Office in January 2019 by NEF. The Committee also took note that there was a backlog wherein the Financial Statements for the years ended 2012, 2013 and that of 2014 were never submitted. 11 I am pleased to inform the House that the Financial Statements for the year 2012 have already been audited by the National Audit Office and filed at the Registrar of Companies. The Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2013 would be released shortly by the National Audit Office. As regards the Financial Statements for the year ended December 2014, same is at the level of the National Audit Office for audit purposes. The Financial Statements for period ended 31 December 2015 and period 01 January 2016 to 30 June 2017 have already been prepared and are being examined by the National Audit Office. Madam Speaker, when this Government took over in December 2014, it was noted that the situation was chaotic at NEF. Madam Speaker, with regard to the Action Plan, the Foundation submitted same in July 2017. However, the Ministry requested the NEF that the Action Plan be submitted in a prescribed format with detailed information.

  • How Do Exchange Rates Respond to Political Rhetoric by Populist Leaders?
    KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM WORKING PAPER SERIES HOW DO EXCHANGE RATES RESPOND TO POLITICAL RHETORIC BY POPULIST LEADERS? Cem Çakmaklı Selva Demiralp Gökhan Şahin Güneş Working Paper No: 2112 August 2021 This Working Paper is issued under the supervision of the ERF Directorate. Any opinions expressed here are those of the author(s) and not those of the Koç University-TÜSİAD Economic Research Forum. It is circulated for discussion and comment purposes and has not been subject to review by referees. KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM Rumelifeneri Yolu 34450 Sarıyer/Istanbul How do exchange rates respond to political rhetoric by populist leaders? August 3, 2021 Abstract With the global rise in authoritarianism, there has been an increase in political commentaries by the populist leaders that have criticized their central banks in favor of lower interest rates. We analyze the effects of these political pressures on exchange rates. We provide strong empirical evidence where political commentaries affect both the level and the volatility of exchange rate returns. The intensity of political pressures as well as institutional strength play a key role in determining the size of the impact. Keywords: Political pressure, exchange rate, time inconsistency, populism. JEL Codes: E5, G1, F31 Total Word Count: 8530 1 1 Introduction There has been a rise in populism (Acemoglu et al., 2013). One impact of this wave is the increase in political pressures towards central banks in favor of lower interest rates. Politicians typically support lower interest rates due to their short-term focus on growth-oriented policies. However, independent central banks may offset these pressures, focusing on long-run price stability and sus- tainable growth.
