Top Central Bank official dies

Dr. Uthum Herat

Dr. Uthum Herat, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank (CB), passed away on Friday after lapsing into a coma following a stroke two weeks back, family members said.

“He was one of the most brilliant officials at the Central Bank,” said W.A. Wijewardena, who recently retired as Senior Deputy Governor and was a long-time associate of the late Dr Herat who has also served as an alternate executive director of the International Monetary Fund. He was 52 years old.
