Who should set interest rates? Not central banks!
No committee can determine the correct interest rate for millions of people. Interest rates should emerge from markets, not central planners.

PROGRESS THROUGH FREEDOM
The Free Market Foundation has been South Africa’s premier advocate of individual liberty, private property, free enterprise, and limited constitutional government since 1975.

No committee can determine the correct interest rate for millions of people. Interest rates should emerge from markets, not central planners.

For thirty years, South Africa has pursued a state-driven development path while failing to secure the most basic conditions for economic freedom.

The path to a different future lies in expanding the freedoms that evidence shows are effective. Anything less will see us continue down the road to serfdom.
