Central Bank Governor Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy, has been named by LMD business magazine as its ‘Sri Lankan of the Year.’
LMD’s December cover story notes: “A mere five months into his tenure as the Central Bank’s Governor, all indications are that Coomaraswamy’s appointment has resulted in a welcome change to Sri Lanka’s country image...”
LMD says that Coomaraswamy’s appointment as the Governor of the Central Bank half way through the year “led to a collective sigh of relief in media circles, and among business people and many of those who call the shots in political circles these days, because it averted a potential leadership vacuum at the bank.”
“In view of his impeccable credentials, which include a 16-year career at the Central Bank and a stint at the Commonwealth Secretariat, we considered Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy to be a top choice for a job that calls for high-level responsibility for Sri Lanka’s monetary management,” a spokesman for LMD’s publisher, Media Services, states.
