Slovenia’s Central Bank Enters Interim Leadership Amid Succession Delay

The Bank of Slovenia faces a leadership gap after Governor Boštjan Vasle’s term ends, leaving the institution without voting rights on the ECB Governing Council

Slovenia’s central bank is now under interim leadership as of 9 January, following the expiration of Governor Boštjan Vasle’s six-year term without a successor being appointed.

Vice-Governor Primož Dolenc has stepped into the role temporarily after parliament rejected President Nataša Pirc Musar’s nomination of former Prime Minister Anton Rop for the position in November. Concerns have been raised over Dolenc’s dual responsibilities as deputy governor and chair of the Bank of Slovenia’s Governing Board.

The leadership gap has broader implications, as the Bank of Slovenia will lack voting rights on the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Governing Council until a governor with full powers is appointed.
