Organisation bigger than individual
The editorial of July 2 (‘The Central Bank’s dark vaults’) was based on flawed logic and a poor appreciation of the concept of Central Bank autonomy. How could the government take the lead in declaring that my name was being taken off the shortlist of candidates being considered for governor of the Central Bank of Malta when it had never made any public declarations about who was on the shortlist? I made the decision to insist on not being considered for the post after media leaks referred to my being under consideration and a favourite for it.
