Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed reappointing Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiulina for a third term in an effort to ensure macroeconomic stability, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Nabiulina, 58, an economist and former Putin adviser who was unexpectedly appointed in 2013, is the first woman to chair one of Russia's most respected institutions. Her current term expires in June, and on Friday Putin asked the lower house of parliament to consider his proposal to reappoint her on March 21.
