Members of the Board of the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ), which became an independent body yesterday have been announced.
They are Central Bank governor Richard Byles, who will serve as the Chairman, Senior Deputy Governor Dr. Wayne Robinson, Dr. Christine Clarke, Andrea Coy and company executives Gary Hendrickson, Howard Mitchell and Richard Powell.
A Deputy Governor will also be appointed to the Board.
The individual will be appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Board.
Under the Bank of Jamaica Amendment Act the Finance Minister no longer has the power to issue directions on monetary policy.
As a result the Central Bank will have operational independence.
