HCS rejects Central Bank governor’s resignation request

The High Council of State (HCS) has rejected Central Bank Governor Naji Issa’s request to be relieved of his duties, calling on him to remain in office.

HCS head Mohamed Takala said his decision followed consultations with the council’s presidency and committee heads.

Issa had asked on 9 August to be excused from continuing as governor but did not give a reason.

Takala said the council would continue to monitor issues relating to the Central Bank within its remit.
