About me

I am an Executive Director at the Central Bank of Somalia (CBS) and a member of the Bank's Senior Management Team. Within CBS, I lead the Monetary, Financial and Regulatory Policy Group (MFRPG).

• The MFRPG supports the CBS in achieving its monetary and financial stability goals by providing comprehensive and timely statistical, analytic, and research papers; and through monitoring the safety and soundness of banks, non-bank financial institutions under its authority, including money transfer businesses, payment system(s), and the domestic financial system more generally. 

• The Group is responsible for providing all the material advice for the formulation and conduct of monetary policy and for maintaining stability in the financial system. It conducts fundamental research on monetary policy targets and tools, the domestic financial transmission mechanism, financial stability, and foreign exchange policies. 

Beyond CBS, I am also involved in other high-level policy activities:

• member of Somalia's National Economic Council (Golaha Dhaqaalaha Qaranka), as a National Economic Advisor (Office of the President).

• member of the National Economic Development Pillar Working Group (Guddiga Farsamada), coordinated by the Office of the Prime Minister.

• member of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) for Somalia’s Integrated Statistics and Economic Planning Capacity Building Project (SISEPCBP).

• member of Somalia’s National Anti-Money Laundering Committee Task Force.
