Present at the Wednesday morning meeting are Piraeus Banks’ Michalis Sallas, the National Banks’ Louka Katseli, Eurobank’s Nikos Karamouzis and Alpha Bank’s Vasilis Rapanos. The IMF’s former representative in Greece and former VP for the Piraeus Bank Takis Roumeliotis is also at the meeting.
Mr. Roumeliotis was one of candidates considered for the position of president at the Financial Stability Fund, however the latest rumors suggest that banker Giorgos Michelis will be appointed. Mr. Roumeliotis is likely to replace the outgoing FSF managing director Anastasia Sakellariou.
