Appointments Board interviews candidates to head 4 financial institutions

Interviews are for EXIM Bank, India Infrastructure Finance Company, Sidbi and IFCI

The newly set up Appointments Board for selection of chiefs at four key financial institutions held the first round of interview on Thursday, to recommend a pick among 32 shortlisted candidates.

The board was set up after the refusal of the Banks Board Bureau (BBB) to recommend on heads for two of the four institutions.

The candidates shortlisted after eligibility and vigilance clearance include people from public sector banks (PSBs) and even the Reserve Bank of India, officials said. Four of them will be finalised after the second round of interviews on Friday to head the Export-Import Bank (EXIM Bank),
