Neeza Imad, the assistant governor of the Maldives central bank, resigned Sunday after President Abdulla Yameen withdrew her nomination to replace the outgoing governor.
Yameen withdrew Neeza’s name and proposed Ahmed Naseer for parliamentary approval. The withdrawal of her nomination suggested “a lack of trust” by the government, Neeza told local media on her resignation after 31 years at the Maldives Monetary Authority.
The president’s office did not disclose reasons for the change.
Naseer previously worked at the MMA and went on to serve as CEO of the Capital Market Development Authority. He was also briefly state minister of finance under the ousted Maldivian Democratic Party government before resigning in late 2011.
