DUBAI  - The Saudi central bank will have seven members instead of five and they will serve for seven-year terms that can be renewed, its governor told state TV channel Ekhbariya, after it was announced the bank's name would change from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority to Saudi Central Bank. 

The governor, Ahmed al-Kholifey, said there would be no interference in the operations of the central bank, Ekhbariya said on Twitter.
