Recently appointed Central Bank Governor Larry Howai said yesterday that finding a solution to the ongoing problems in the foreign exchange market is a priority. Speaking at a meeting at the Central Bank between representatives of the institution and members of the Bankers Association (BATT), Howai underscored that a long-term solution to the foreign exchange problems could only occur when mechanisms are found to bring demand and supply into equilibrium, but that that was still some way off.
