Briefing: Full text: judge says probe is attempt to ‘harass and pressure’ the central bank chief to cut rates

The judge's comments highlight the implications of such investigations on the central bank's operational independence, particularly in relation to interest rate adjustments.

This situation raises questions about the integrity of the central banking system and its ability to function without external pressures that could affect economic stability.
