POLAND: Former PM Belka Nominated For Chief Banker.
AP/GOOGLE/ Former prime minister Marek Belka, 58, was nominated to head the central bank by acting President Komorowski. Belka is an economist currently working for the IMF and a former finance minister. "Everyone is happy," said economist Mateusz Szczurek. "If you look at his professional activity in the past 13 years, it's hard to find anyone more qualified." But Economy Minister Waldemar Pawlak dissented and said he doesn’t want the central bank to be run by “a monetarist” such as Belka because the country needs “someone interested in supporting economic growth.” The previous central banker Slawomir Skrzypek died in the 10 April plane crash in Russia.
