IBA’S NEXT CHAIRMAN COULD BE FROM A PRIVATE BANK

In the last bankers’ conference (Bancon) held in Pune, finance minister P Chidambaram told the Indian Banks Association (IBA) members that its next chairman should be from a private bank since none of the top-level private bankers were present at the conference. The idea was to give the private sector a representation at IBA. The vacancy for the chairman’s (held by KR Kamath, CMD of PNB) post is a long way off. IBA could consider appointing an official from private banks for the CEO’s post which is due to be vacated by middle of this calendar year. In the past, ICICI CEO HN Sinor has been at the helm of the bankers’ body and made it a vibrant organisation.
