The succession


THERE is always speculation in banking and financial circles over who will eventually become the next central bank chief. So it is in Malaysia, where, as governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz’s tenure comes to an end, there has been a lot of interest over who will succeed her.

This time around, interest is not just confined to bankers as the wider public would also like to know who will eventually helm Bank Negara.
