Today, for the first time during my 30-year career in the Central Bank, witnessed a Governor addressing all the members of the staff at his leaving. Ending of the tenure of all the other Governors of the Bank was so abrupt that they did not have an opportunity to meet all the staff at their departure.

Governor Coomaraswamy did not forget to thank everyone, from the Monetary Board, Senior Deputy Governor to the ‘friends’ who served tea at the meetings. At the occasion of assuming duties in 2016, he revealed what he expected from everyone in the Bank; Integrity, Professionalism and Technical Excellence. He possesses all three of those.

In addition, through his engagement with people he taught everyone an important lesson; ‘be a human before you become an officer’. He is departing the Bank tomorrow, embracing everyone’s love.

Wishing Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy good health and contented life ahead…
