National Bank of Egypt head Tariq Amer (Reuters)
Egypt reshuffled the central bank board of directors, naming two deputies and six members as Tarek Amer is set to take his role as governor on 27 November.
The presidential decree appointed Lobna Helal and Gamal Negm as deputy governors, the central bank said in a statement, according to state news agency MENA.
The decree also appointed a representative from the finance ministry and the head of the financial supervisory authority Sherif Samy as members of the board along with economist Hala Helmy, legal expert Yehya Ragheb, economist Layla El Khawaga and financial and economic expert Kamal Samaan.
Last month, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi appointed Tarek Amer as the new governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) following the resignation of Hisham Ramez.
The new governor and the board of directors are appointed for a renewable tenure of four years.
