The Search Committee established to find a new Governor of the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) says no recommendations have yet been made to the Government regarding a shortlist of possible candidates for the position.

The tenure of current Governor Richard Byles ends in August, bringing to a close seven years spent at the forefront of the country’s economic transformation.

Responding to a news article about a frontrunner candidate, the committee, in a statement issued through the Ministry of Finance on Monday, said any announcement prior to the conclusion of the process is speculative and a disservice to all candidates.
