Current Affairs Prime minister presents members of new body to combat effects of financial crisis
While we are still waiting for a long-promised cabinet reshuffle, the Czech prime minister, Mirek Topolánek, has delivered on his pledge to set up a National Economic Council to discuss ways of combatting the effects of the global financial crisis. On Thursday morning, the prime minister presented the 10 leading economists who will serve on the new body; they include such people as mid 1990s industry minister Vladimír Dlouhý, the president of the Czech Banking Association, Jiří Kunert, and Tomáš Sedláček of ČSOB bank. At its launch, Sedláček (31) told me about the thinking behind the new national economic council.
