Mauritius named its youngest central bank governor yet and appointed a woman as second deputy governor in an overhaul of the top management of the institution.
Harvesh Kumar Seegolam, 37, currently head of the Financial Services Commission, will replace Yandraduth Googoolye at the helm, becoming the eighth governor since the Bank of Mauritius was established in 1967. Googoolye and Second Deputy Governor Mahendra Vikramdass Punchoo quit after being asked to step down by the government, three people familiar with the matter said last week.
