Finance Minister Juergen Ligi has been asked to seek the post of central bank governor when Andres Lipstok’s term expires next June.
“Juergen Ligi, having been a very strong finance minister, is certainly qualified for this position,” said Jaan Mannik, the bank’s supervisory board chairman, who asked Ligi to apply. Ligi said he would like to think about the decision until August, Mannik said today in a phone interview. The Estonian newspaper Postimees reported Mannik’s request on June 11.
