Mario Draghi is facing resistance from euro-area central bank chiefs on his choice for a senior position in the currency bloc’s new bank supervisor, said three people with knowledge of the matter.
Ignazio Angeloni, an Italian who is Director General of the institution’s financial-stability wing, is the European Central Bank president’s pick for one of four seats the Governing Council will appoint to the Supervisory Board that starts oversight of the region’s biggest lenders in November, the people said.
