President Gotabaya Rajapaksa
CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa yesterday in a statement said he has the fullest confidence and trust in Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal.
The remark was in support of denying reports that the President had asked Cabraal to resign.
“Governor Cabraal enjoys my fullest confidence and trust and has been a tower of strength in responding to the grave economic challenges faced by the country,” President said in the statement. He also said the IMF delegation which visited the country last week did not discuss about officials, and the talks at which Governor Cabraal too was present, covered only the monetary issues.
“I have personally urged Governor Cabraal not to be discouraged by these mischievous and fake stories, and to continue his all-important work for the stability and growth of our country,” the President’s statement added.
