BOTSWANA President Mokgweetsi Masisi appointed Cornelius Dekop as the new central bank governor with immediate effect, his government said in a statement.
He replaces Moses Pelaelo, who had served as the governor of the Bank of Botswana since 2016.
The statement by the Botswana government’s communications department did not provide a reason for Pelaelo’s departure three days before an interest rate decision.
