Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made some of the biggest moves in revamping his economic team by installing three new central bankers that include a former adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Fatih Karahan, Cevdet Akcay and Hatice Karahan will serve as deputies to Governor Hafize Gaye Erkan, a former Wall Street banker appointed last month. They’ll replace Emrah Sener, Taha Cakmak and Mustafa Duman on the Monetary Policy Committee, according to a decision published in the Official Gazette early on Friday.
