Abstract

The independence of a nation’s Central Bank is crucial to the management of price stability and welfare of the citizens. Worldwide there is the propensity to ensure that inflation does not render the purchasing power of the people useless, hence the charter of Central Bank charges them to control this ”monster” . Using four countries in Africa this study attempts to examine the impact of Central Bank on inflation control and its welfare consequences based on the qualitative variables approach. However, we did not find significant impact of the Central Bank on the level of welfare of the people, based on some factors like frequent changes in government policies and political instability among others. We expect more pragmatic performance in the future as the Bank grows and countries embrace democratic principles of governance
