Competent and credible: Under Dr Zeti’s (inset) stewardship, Bank Negara has become a highly respected institution.

“Every country needs an organisation like the central bank that does not have any political agenda. It should remain focused on ensuring macroeconomic, financial and economic stability,” Dr Zeti reportedly said after launching the Investment Account Platform on Wednesday.
