Bank Negara’s Governor Remains Tight-Lipped on Reappointment

The governor of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Tan Sri Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus is keeping mum about being reappointed as the governor of the nation’s central bank.

“The appointment of the governor is by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,” she was quoted as saying during a press conference on the fourth quarter (4Q) and 2022 gross domestic product (GDP) statistics released today.

“So, for me, I’m focused on discharging the ‘amanah’ that has been given to me to make sure that BNM continues to deliver its mandate. That is occupying most of my time, if not all my time,’’ she emphasized.

To recap, Her contract expires this year.

The governor was appointed to helm at the current position for a five-year term effective July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2023. She took over from Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim who resigned on June 15, 2018.

For the record, Nor Shamsiah was BNM’s deputy governor from 2010 to 2016.
