Delay recalling paper notes

The National, Thursday 18th April 2013
I REFER to your report about recalling the paper banknotes (April 10).
I call on the Central Bank governor to extend the deadline for recalling the banknotes by another six or seven months because the one-month notice is not enough for
a country such as PNG where communication is one of the biggest problems (April 10).
There are many people in remote places such as Karimui, Marawaka, Kaintiba, Simbai and Telefomin who are still using paper banknotes and making trips to towns such as Goroka and Mt Hagen once or twice a month by planes.
I suggest the BPNG carry out a ground situation report analysis properly and give the people time to exchange their hard-earned money.
