Luanda - The National Bank of Angola (BNA) will now have, within the scope of the punctual revision of the Constitution, a main mandate to guarantee the stability of prices, in order to ensure the preservation of the value of the national currency.
The information was provided Wednesday in Luanda, at the National Assembly, by the governor of the BNA, José de Lima Massano.
"What we want to emphasise is price stability in the national economy as the main mission of the National Bank of Angola," he stressed.
José de Lima Massano was speaking before the specialised committees of the National Assembly, which today began discussing the National Bank of Angola (BNA) Bill outside the effective functioning period of this sovereign body.
The Plenary of the National Assembly has convened, for the 26th of this month, an extraordinary plenary meeting outside the effective functioning period of the Parliament, for the global final vote of this draft Law and of other draft Laws related to the electoral package.
The draft legislation amending the General Elections Law, legislative initiatives of the MPLA and UNITA parliamentary groups, respectively, will also go to a final vote at this extraordinary plenary meeting.
The two bills will start to be discussed this Thursday, in speciality, in order to seek consensus between the parties so as to turn the two documents into a single legal instrument that everyone agrees on.
The Angolan deputies are also expected to approve, in definitive form, at the extraordinary plenary meeting on the 26th, the draft amendments to the Official Electoral Registration Law, initiatives of the Government and of the UNITA parliamentary group, respectively.
