An independent review has found that a major central bank missed key opportunities to rein in expenses, despite having multiple tools at its disposal to manage spending more effectively.

Critics may question whether leadership prioritized accountability or allowed inefficiencies to persist unchecked. The findings raise broader concerns about fiscal responsibility in financial governance.
