Lyubomir Karimanski before FACTS: Andrey Gyurov did not fulfill the internal rules of the BNB (VIDEO)

Regarding the release of Andrey Gyurov from the post of deputy governor of the BNB, he did not comply with the bank's internal rules. After carefully reading the BNB's decision, there are many characteristic things in it. Even if we assume that there was a wait for the “assembly” to pass, this only shows one thing - that the central bank is very concerned about how independent it is after waiting for a decision. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio "FACTS". and the show “Conversation“ the economist Lyubomir Karimanski, former MP from ITN.

“Unlike Mr. Gyurov, when I was not selected, when I participated in the competition for the governor of the BNB, then with the full awareness of the responsibility for this position, I took actions to withdraw from participation in two companies. I left both companies before I even knew if he was going to be elected or not - just because of the nomination. I think that is correct. One should have respect for the post he aspires to. The decision of the Management Board of the BNB is 12 pages long and is not like the press release. Gyurov commented on the so-called participation in the activity of the NGO, but there is also commercial activity in the activity of the company. And for this commercial activity, it is recorded that the company performs analyzes that help the government. If a company in which the deputy governor of the BNB is involved, makes analyzes for the benefit of the government!? This is a strong relationship of dependence that should not be allowed”, Karimanski added.

“I don't know what the logic is for the budget committee in the parliament to be headed by Peevski's DPS. It is not known from the rest of Peevski's DPS how much of the financial expertise he has to take over the leadership of this entire commission. It is absolutely clear to me personally that the current chairman – Bajryam Bajryam, who is elected, will be a figurehead in the budget committee. He is unlikely to lead things in depth in terms of the entire budgeting process. I know Bayriam from our work together when I headed the budget committee, and he never expressed a position, he did not actively participate in the amendments of those budgets that we considered. He simply supported what Yordan Tsonev had as a position, and before that Petar Chobanev, who is now the deputy governor of the BNB from DPS“, the guest added.
