Hilaire to head Central Bank for three more years
Dr Alvin Hilaire -
CENTRAL Bank Governor Dr Alvin Hilaire has been given a three-year extension in his post, Finance Minister Colm Imbert told a virtual briefing on Friday.
Cabinet has also agreed to the appointment of the first of three individuals as deputy governors, Dr Dorian Noel, a lecturer at the Department of Government at UWI, St Augustine.
Imbert said Cabinet will fill the two other deputy posts, possibly recruiting staff from the likes of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He said he was also using the occasion to apologise to Vishnu Dhanpaul on behalf of those voices that had alleged he was favoured to be governor. Dhanpaul is permanent secretary in the ministry.
