The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, advised by the Prime Minister, has today appointed Datuk Muhammad Ibrahim as the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia for a term of 5 years, starting on 1 st of May 2016.
I’m confident that under his leadership, Bank Negara Malaysia will continue assisting the government with advice to further strengthen Malaysia’s economy, as well as managing monetary policy, and regulating and developing the financial services industry.
