Vestager goes for top job at European Investment Bank

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:21:57 GMT

Margrethe Vestager, the European Union’s digital and competition chief, said she is running to head the European Investment Bank.“I am pleased that the Danish government have put forward my name to be vetted as possible candidate for the position as president for the European Investment Bank,” she said in a statement. “I confirm my availability for the assessment, awaiting the bank’s process and next steps,” she said.If selected, Vestager would be the first woman to run the European Union’s bank which finances programs inside the bloc and abroad.

If Vestager were to take the post, she would be leaving the Commission well before...
