Latvia’s political parties are discussing four candidates to lead the central bank after IlmarsRimsevics’s term ends in December, Latvia’s LatvijasAvize newspaper reported.
Under consideration are Roberts Zile, a member of the European Parliament, Martins Kazaks, a central bank board member, UldisCerps, a former director of the banking regulator, and KarlisBauze, who previously headed monetary policy at the central bank, LatvijasAvize reported, without saying where it got the information.
Latvia, a euro member since 2014, was plunged into crisis last year when US money-laundering accusations sparked the demise of its No. 3 lender and Rimsevics was charged with bribery. Rimsevics denies wrongdoing and blames a group of banks for his troubles.
