The country’s Parliament voted to appoint central bank board members back in July and renewed Mugur Isarescu’s term as central bank governor.
This is the sixth central bank board since the 1989 revolution. Isarescu, 70, has been central bank governor since 1990 except for 11 months in 1999-2000 when he served as the country’s prime minister.
The board includes four new members: Leonardo Badea (deputy governor), Dan Radu Rusanu, Csaba Balint and Cristian Popa, while the terms of Florin Georgescu (first deputy governor), Eugen Nicolaescu (deputy governor), Gheorghe Gherghina (member) and Virgiliu Stoenescu (member) have been renewed.
