Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy today (28) issues a statement in response to certain comments made by former Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake.
The statement says that in recent days, the former Finance Minister has repeated his allegations against Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, Senior Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL).
“As the Governor of the CBSL, I want to formally place on record that Dr. Weerasinghe is an outstanding economist who has made a stellar contribution to the work of the Bank during the two years I have spent in this position,” he said.
In addition, the Central Bank Governor also pointed out that the former Finance Minister Ravi Karunananayake has not produced any evidence to back up his “unfounded allegations.”
