Former Central Bank Governor Nivard Cabraal yesterday charged that the Yahapalana regime has borrowed high (6.2%) since election and invested low (2.2%) resulting in an interest gap of 4% on an average reserve of around $ 7 billion. 

“It is clear that such practice has caused the country to suffer losses of about $280 million per year, or $840 million over the 3 years,” he claimed.
