“During the budget session, when evaluating the monetary and fiscal policies, the absence of the Governor has created a situation where the impact on the economy cannot be properly explained,” he said, “The government should immediately form a recommendation committee and appoint the Governor.”
The position of the NRB Governor has been vacant since April 6. The recommendation committee, which was formed more than a month ago to recommend a name for the Governor, has not yet held a single meeting. One of the committee members resigned a week ago.
