Byles named FSC board chairman
Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) Governor Richard Byles is the new chairman of the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
Byles’ appointment was announced Monday by Finance Minister Dr Nigel Clarke in a special policy address on regulation of the financial sector in light of the multibillion-dollar fraud that has engulfed securities dealer Stocks and Securities Ltd.
Clarke also announced that BOJ executives Wayne Robinson, senior deputy governor; George Roper, deputy governor; and Jide Lewis deputy governor will serve on the FSC board.
All appointments will be effective Monday.
