The Bank of Mauritius will have a new leader to steer it through 2018 when Rameswurlall Basant Roi’s three-year term comes to an end later this month.

First deputy governor Yandraduth Googoolye has been appointed by the nation’s president Ameenah Gurib to replace Roi. He will serve three years in the post beginning on January 15, 2018.

Googoolye is no stranger to the governor’s seat, having acted as interim governor twice: first between January and February 2007, and again from February to May
