ORANJESTAD (AAN) – Thomas Domhoff has officially been sworn in as the new President of the Central Bank of Aruba (CBA), marking the beginning of a new chapter for the island’s financial institution.
The swearing-in ceremony took place on June 25, 2026, at the Governor’s Ceremonial House before Governor Alfonso Boekhoudt. The event was attended by Finance Minister Geoffrey Wever, members of the Central Bank’s Supervisory Board, CBA Director Prakash Mungra, and Domhoff’s family.
Domhoff’s appointment followed an independent selection process led by the Central Bank’s Supervisory Board, which identified him as the most qualified candidate after an extensive recruitment and evaluation process.
He brings more than 30 years of experience in the financial, banking, agricultural, and education sectors, including his recent role as CEO of GI-RO Settlement Holding N.V. in Curaçao.
Finance Minister Geoffrey Wever expressed confidence that Domhoff’s leadership, strategic vision, and commitment to innovation will help strengthen the Central Bank’s role in maintaining the stability of the Aruban florin and supporting confidence in the island’s economy.
The appointment follows nearly two decades of leadership by former CBA President Jane Semeleer. Wever also thanked Acting President Miriam Gonzalez for guiding the institution through the transition period. Domhoff officially assumed his duties as President of the Central Bank of Aruba on July 1, 2026.
