摘要：The first death anniversary of John Exter, Founder Governor of the Central Bank, was commemorated on 28th
of February 2007. He died in 2006 after living a very productive life for 95 long years.
John Exter lent his wisdom, intellect and experience, without any reservation, for the establishment of the
Central Bank of Ceylon in 1950 through the recommendations made by him in a report, now known as the Exter Report.
He became the first Governor of the Central Bank at the young age of 39. His task was to establish the Bank, staff it and
lead it in the first few formative years, so that it could eventually be taken over by a Sri Lankan management. The
rationale and philosophy of the Central Bank, which he evinced in his report in the late1940s, are equally valid even for
today, as it carries a justification of each and every section of the Monetary Law, so that the later generations of central
bankers would not have any ambiguity of what was meant by them. Hence, by any standard, Exter is a central banker for
all times.
