Featured event: Centeno takes over as governor of BdP

Mário Centeno takes over as governor of Banco de Portugal (BdP) this Monday, July 20, after the appointment of the former finance minister as Carlos Costa's successor at the head of the regulator was approved last week in Council of Ministers and published in Diário da República. The new governor of BdP takes office with a public session, at 11:30 am, in the Salão Nobre of the Ministry of Finance, succeeding Carlos Costa, who resigned after ten years.

After months of speculation, the appointment of Mário Centeno took place after the Budget and Finance Commission (COF) approved the hearing report of Mário Centeno, despite the votes against the CDS, Bloco de Esquerda, PAN, Liberal Initiative and the deputy Social Democrat Álvaro Almeida.
