The Public Utilities Commission is scheduled to convene at noon on Wednesday in order to approve the appointment of Yannis Stournaras as the new governor of the Bank of Greece.
Mr. Stournaras will be accompanied by his successor at the Ministry of Finances, Gikas Hardouvelis, who will support the appointment. The former Minister will be called upon to answer a series of questions related to the banking system.
The leader of the main opposition Alexis Tsipras has objected to the appointment and has vowed to replace him in case SYRIZA comes to power.
