Than Than Swe, a deputy governor of the Central Bank of Myanmar, was shot and wounded by gunmen at her apartment in Yangon on April 7.
The shooting happened after the central bank introduced new foreign currency rules on April 3 requiring banks and other holders of foreign currency to convert their deposits into the local kyat currency.
The rules prompted widespread complaint in Myanmar, all the more so since the notification by the central bank required foreign currency holders to convert “within one working day”.
