Parliament appoints new National Bank of Moldova Governor

The ruling Alliance for European Integration (AEI), which has a majority in Parliament, voted to appoint Dorin Dragutanu as head of the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) today.

The Party of Communists (PC) harshly criticized the nomination and refused to vote. At one point, Communist M.P. Anatolie Zagorodnii accused Mr. Dragutanu of having "ties and contacts" with the Romanian secret services. Mr. Dragutanu denied the allegations.

Dorin Dragutanu is a Romanian-educated auditor who has worked with PricewaterHouseCoopers Moldova since 1998. He has been one of the company's representatives in Serbia since 2005. He is well-known as a professional auditor, but does not seem to have a lot of banking experience.

Mr. Dragutanu will be replacing Leonid Talmaci, who held the post since the bank was founded in 1991.
