The President said that he has several candidates for the position of head of the NBU.

President Petro Poroshenko said that the new head of the National Bank of Ukraine can be appointed before the summer recess of Parliament

About this Poroshenko said during a press conference on Sunday.

“I do not exclude that it (the Rada vote for the appointment of a new head of the NBU — ed.) could happen before the summer parliamentary recess, so we were not expecting the fall. I think that this news may already be enough,” he said.

Earlier, Poroshenko said that he has several candidates for the position of head of the National Bank of Ukraine.

“I have several candidates, but no I had not discussed them with representatives of the Verkhovna Rada, I believe, is not correct to disclose their names. But I proceed from the criterion of professionalism and patriotism. I am sure that Ukraine has enough such candidates,” he said.

It is worth noting that as expected, the head of the NBU Valeria Gontareva has decided not to resign, but just went on vacation. Accordingly, while Gontareva will be on vacation the acting head of the NBU will be her first Deputy, Yakov Smoliy. This order was signed by the head of the national Bank.
