Ireland to search for a new ECB-bound central bank chief

Ireland began search for a new central bank governor, following the departure of Philip Lane to the European Central Bank. The government will be launching national and international search for the new central bank governor.

The candidates to be participated should submit an expression of interest to the Minister for Finance. The search for the central bank governor will be an extensive national and international executive search to identify suitably qualified candidates in Ireland and abroad, says the Department of Finance.

The President will be appointing the Governor on the advice of the government for a term of seven years. The person will also be a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank.
