Central bank's deputy governor position filled

Prime Minister Donald Tusk has approved Witold Koziński's nomination as a deputy central bank governor, a position that has been void since January, the government press office said on Wednesday.

Witold Koziński, a specialist in financial markets was supposed to take the position during the winter, replacing Jerzy Pruski, who left the position after disputes with governor Sławomir Skrzypek. Skrzypek nominated Kozinski as his deputy in February, but the appointment was put on hold by the prime minister.

PM Tusk's approval has been seen as a move to improve the strained relations between the government and central bank, in face of Tusk's pledge to prepare Poland for euro adoption. (AO)
