Rwanda names central banker as new finance minister in reshuffle


    KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda named the country's central bank governor Claver Gatete as finance minister in a cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday, a government website said.

    Gatete replaces John Rwangombwa, who takes over the position of governor at the National Bank of Rwanda in a direct swap. The website gave no reason for the reshuffle.
