The EC announced their nomination of Mr Boštjan Jazbec as a member to the Single Resolution Board (SRB) in a press release on Wednesday 14th of February. Though Mr Jazbec has proven experience with monetary policy issues, for instance as the Governor of the Bank of Slovenia, critics cite his involvement in the Slovenian “institutional robbery of the century” as incompatible with his nomination to the SRB. The Pan-Slovenian Investors’ & Shareholders’ Association (VZMD) - a member organisation of BETTER FINANCE - wrote a scathing criticism on Tuesday, blaming Mr Jazbec for “...billion-euro damages incurred directly to over 100 000 Slovene small investors”, also adding his role in the additional losses endured by all Slovene citizens and taxpayers during the national efforts to overcome the financial crisis.
