Hårda kampen: Vem tar över Kinas centralbank?
Efter 15 år är det snart dags för Zhou Xiaochuan att kliva av posten som Kinas centralbankschef. Kampen om vem som ska bli hans efterträdare är hård, skriver Financial Times.
Enligt tidningen finns det framför allt fyra heta kandidater till posten: Guo Shuqing, ordförande för centralbankens regelkommittée, Jiang Chaoliang, partisekreterare i Hubeiprovinsen, Liu Shiyu, ordförande för värdepapperskommittéen samt centralbankens vicechef Yi Gang.
Zhou väntas formellt sluta i samband med kommunistpartiets kongress senare i år.
