POLAND: No Rush To Name Permanent Central Banker Says Acting President.

BLOOMBERG/    Acting President Bronislaw Komorowski says the nation has no need to rush a permanent replacement for central bank Governor Slawomir Skrzypek, who died in the tragic plane crash. But “the best thing would be to find someone right away to preserve the stability and credibility of the central bank," said potential candidate Jan Krzysztof Bielecki. Others speculate that “the most likely candidate is Bielecki, because he has political experience and support. Right behind is Andrzej Bratkowski, who has the know-how to step right into the job without missing a beat.” For now, Deputy Governor Piotr Wiesiolek, 46, is handing the duties.
