The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) is calling on the general public to respect all banks and other financial institutions’ properties in Honiara.
This call was made following last week’s events which saw several key properties being damaged, including a bank building and ATMs, which were razed to the ground by fire.
“I want to make a personal call to the good people of Solomon Islands to please respect our banks and other key infrastructures in and around Honiara.
“These properties are key infrastructures that are critical to the operations and functioning of our economy and we must respect them. We must not allow any form of damage over them,” CBSI Governor, Dr. Luke Forau stated.
The destruction of banks’ properties will have a severe adverse impact to the economy; the absence of which disrupts the orderly functioning of the financial system.
