Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty

QUESTION OF THE DAY? 

8 December, 1998 - 00:00

If the political decision is made to have a monetary emission will you
carry out their decision personally?

  Viktor YUSHCHENKO,
Governor of the National Bank:

No, I will not, because this would mean committing a crime and a grave
sin. As a professional, I would be ashamed. I was happy to hear similar
views expressed in separate political statements made by the President,
Prime Minister, and several political party leaders. I am positive that
there is no political force in Ukraine prepared to assume the responsibility
for a political decision to have an emission. I don't believe that the
business and political circles will be taken in by talk about an emission
being target-oriented and beneficial under certain conditions.
