Ponta said he had talks with central bank governor Mugur Isarescu, and agreed on an “depoliticized” management of ASF, adding that Negritoiu is to get the Parliament‘s vote on Tuesday.
Negritoiu is currently ING Bank Romania president. He served as minister for coordination, strategy and reform, between 1992 and 1993, and was elected deputy in 1996.
Since 1997, he worked for the ING group, and in 2006 he was promoted as chief executive officer of ING Bank Romania. In 2012, the group named another CEO, and Negritoiu stayed on as the bank’s chairman.
He is also professor at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and was awarded Doctor honoris causa by UK-based Hertfordshire University.
