A brief review of Governor Jwala Rambarran’s bio

Jul 17, 2012

Central Bank Governor Jwala Rambarran, who yesterday assumed his new portfolio from his predecessor Ewart Williams, worked at the bank for 14 years. During his tenure, Rambarran represented T&T as technical assistant in the office of the executive director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from April 2001 to March 2003. In a statement issued yesterday, the Central Bank said: “In the IMF, T&T is part of a constituency that includes Brazil, Columbia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, Haiti, Panama and Suriname.” Rambarran left Central Bank in March 2004 to assume the position of chief economist at Caribbean Money Market Brokers (CMMB) before he embarked on his own business, Cap-M Research.

Rambarran is a former Fatima College student and a past government scholar, having attained a scholarship in 1987. He holds a bachelor of science (upper second class) honours degree in economics and mathematics from the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine campus, and a Masters of Science (honours) degree in financial economics from the University of London. The bank said Rambarran is a graduate of executive economic and financial training programmes from Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the IMF Institute and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. “Most recently, Rambarran was recognised by the University of the West Indies, St Augustine campus, as one of the 50 distinguished alumnus as part of the campus’ 50th anniversary celebrations,” read the statement.
