Setting up a liquidity forecasting framework would go a long way in establishing a key building block allowing the RMA to fulfil its legal mandate to formulate and implement monetary policy in ways better aligned with current central bank practices. By allowing the RMA to broaden its monetary instruments toolkit, a liquidity forecasting framework would: (i) facilitate monetary policy signaling, (ii) support the develop of a nascent money market, most notably the Government securities market, and (iii) allow banks to enhance their treasury function, leading to reduced liquidity costs and settlement risks.
