The President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has appointed Abdul Hamid Saeed as the new central bank governor, the government communication office said in a Twitter post on Thursday.

Saeed is replacing Mubarak Rashid Al Mansouri, who has been at the helm of the institution since 2014.
