Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh’s four deputies are inclined to resign in the beginning of next week, two weeks before the expiry of Salameh’s term, Central Bank sources said.
“The resignation’s aim is to reduce the burden of responsibility” on them and they will act in caretaker capacity at the Finance Minister’s request pending the appointment of a new governor, the sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in remarks published Tuesday.
“The four deputies will link the caretaker phase to a host of requests related to the Sayrafa platform and legalizing expenditure from the mandatory reserves,” the sources added.
