(JUBA) – The Central Bank of South Sudan (BoSS) has officially welcomed Hon. Yeni Samuel Costa as its new Governor, marking a new phase in the country’s efforts to strengthen its financial and monetary systems.
In a message of congratulations, the Bank’s Board of Directors, management, and staff expressed confidence that the new Governor’s leadership will help advance reforms, improve the quality of financial services, and support South Sudan’s wider economic growth.
“Your knowledge and leadership will help strengthen the Bank’s work, improve financial services, and support the country’s economic growth,” the Bank said in a statement shared in Juba.
The appointment of Mr Costa comes at a time when South Sudan is working to stabilise its currency, enhance confidence in the banking system, and support recovery from years of economic uncertainty. The Bank is expected to continue its focus on strengthening institutional management, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting financial inclusion across the country.
Under the new leadership, the Bank will also seek to modernise payment systems and strengthen its coordination with the Ministry of Finance and commercial banks to ensure effective implementation of monetary policy. These reforms are central to achieving macroeconomic stability and creating a more predictable environment for investment and private sector development.
Mr Costa’s appointment is viewed as part of the government’s broader push to maintain fiscal discipline and restore public confidence in state institutions.
His leadership will be closely watched by the business community, which depends on the central bank’s policies to support credit access, trade, and overall economic recovery.
