Mauritian Prime Minister Anerood Jugnauth appointed Ramesh Basant Roi as governor of the Indian Ocean island nation’s central bank to replace Rundheersing Bheenick, who was fired last week.
The new governor was offered the position before elections earlier this month brought Jugnauth to power and he accepted the post “after a week of reflection,” Roi said in a phone interview today from the capital, Port Louis. Roi, 68, was governor of the bank from 1998 to 2006 and previously served as director of research at the institution.
