Former Finance minister Colm Imbert is baffled by the sudden revocation of Dr Alvin Hilaire’s appointment as Central Bank governor, especially if it stemmed from his refusal to name the country’s top foreign exchange users.
Imbert said he first learned of Hilaire’s dismissal after reading a newspaper article on the matter.
Speaking at a press conference held at Balisier House yesterday, Imbert admitted he had limited information on the circumstances surrounding the termination. However, he cautioned that if the issue involved pressure on the former governor to disclose the names of individuals who received foreign exchange through commercial banks, such an act would constitute a criminal offence.
