毛里求斯央行行长拉马·西塔宁本周同意辞职,此前总理纳文·拉姆古兰在央行权力斗争的迹象下呼吁他下台。据路透社报道,西塔宁在周六晚间的电视讲话中表示:“我相信,为了央行的最佳利益,为了国家的最佳利益以及该机构的稳定与安宁,我辞职是正确的。”。“我已经同意辞职,我将在下周辞职。”周六早些时候,拉姆古兰总理告诉记者,虽然他没有质疑行长的能力,但他已要求他辞职,“以便毛里求斯银行恢复平静。”拉姆古兰还表示,他将在周一任命新的第二副行长,随后任命新的行长。央行副行长Gerard Sanspeur在与行长之子发生冲突后于8月29日辞职。
Mauritius’ Central Bank Governor Rama Sithanen has agreed to resign this week, following Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam’s call for him to step down amid signs of a power struggle at the bank. "I believe that, in the best interest of the central bank, in the best interest of the country, and for the stability and serenity of the institution, it is the right thing for me to step down," Sithanen said in a televised speech on Saturday evening, as reported by Reuters. "I have agreed to resign, and I will do so next week." Earlier on Saturday, PM Ramgoolam told reporters that while he did not question the governor’s competence, he had asked him to resign “in order for the Bank of Mauritius to regain its serenity.” Ramgoolam also stated he would appoint a new second deputy governor on Monday, followed by a new governor thereafter. Deputy Central Bank Governor Gerard Sanspeur resigned on August 29 after clashing with the governor’s son.
