According to the central bank legislation, the person nominated for the position of deputy governor is heard by Parliament’s standing committee for economic affairs; therefore, Mr Orbán informed Speaker of the House László Kövér of his nomination. The Prime Minister asked the Speaker of the House to take action for the hearing of Mr Virág in the committee.
According to the committee invitation that can be found on Parliament’s website, the hearing of the candidate for the post of deputy governor of the National Bank of Hungary will take place on 9 June.
