New Delhi: The government yesterday appointed Viral V Acharya, a New York University economics professor who once called himself &lsquo;poor man&rsquo;s Raghuram Rajan&rsquo;, as new Deputy Governor at the Reserve Bank of India.
The 42-year-old Acharya's appointment for a three-year tenure was cleared by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. He is taking over at a time when the central bank is facing criticism for repeated changes in the rules related to deposit and withdrawal of money, post-demonetisation.
He will fill the post that fell vacant after Urjit Patel was made RBI Governor to succeed Rajan with effect from September 4.
