Romania's lawmakers to appoint central bank management in early September
<p>The ruling coalition will appoint the management of the National Bank of Romania quickly in the first week of September, with the hearings being a mere formality, opposition (USR) MP Claudiu Nasui, member of the Budget, Finance and Banks Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, told <a href="https://www.zf.ro/banci-si-asigurari/inceput-septembrie-voteaza-conducerea-bnr-parlament-specialistii-vor-22467713?mc_cid=0b9c3b08a7&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar.</a></p>

<p>"At the moment, we have not received any resume, and if any resume was sent, it was probably sent directly to the secretariat of the commission, but I don't think any resume has been sent yet. I think it will be done fast forward in the first week of September. The actual hearing never took place. The hearing is a step, it is written in the regulation, we ask questions and they may not answer. The hearing is a joke," he said.</p>

<p>The BNR management, to be appointed in September by parliamentary vote, is made up of 9 people, namely 5 non-executive members, 2 vice-governors, a first vice-governor, and a governor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The appointment by a parliamentary vote of the BNR management should have taken place in June, but it was postponed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>BNR Governor Mugur Isarescu is expected to get another five-year term.</p>
