The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the appointment of Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy as the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

Extending its best wishes as he commences a six year term as the governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the Chamber of Commerce issued a communique emphasising that Dr. Coomaraswamy, a much respected economist with a stellar track record both in Sri Lanka and overseas, is eminently qualified for this position.

The Chamber of Commerce also noted that Dr. Coomaraswamy’s integrity, international experience, and formidable intellect are invaluable at a time when Sri Lanka seeks to expand its global footprint and is exposed to international capital markets more than ever before.

The chamber further notes that his appointment will help restore public confidence in the country’s monetary authority and the Ceylon Chamber looks forward to extending its fullest support to the new governor during his six-year term.
