Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, said in a recent tweet that Sri Lanka needed to install a currency board and deactivate the central bank.

He is also a senior fellow and director of the Troubled Currencies Project at the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington, DC and co-director of the Johns Hopkins University’s Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise in Baltimore, Maryland.
