Sri Lankan central bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran will find out on Tuesday if he still has a job.

Mahendran plans to step down if former President Mahinda Rajapaksa returns to power after parliamentary elections on Monday. Mahendran, formerly a wealth manager with HSBC Holdings Plc, took over the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in January after President Maithripala Sirisena ended Rajapaksa’s 10-year rule.
