Ivan Iskrov, the Governor of the Bulgarian National Bank who was reelected by the Parliament Wednesday, has proposed a new deputy of his.

Kalin Hristov, a long-time expert at the Central Bank, is Iskrov's choice for a Deputy Governor.

Unconfirmed reports in the spring of 2009 claimed that he was going to become a MP from the GERB party, and that he had been helping PM Borisov's party with its economic program.

Hristov has rejected both of these claims. His name was also mentioned as a potential Deputy Minister of Finance but he was not appointed to the new government.

The new Deputy Governor of the BNB is expected to be elected by the Parliament on Thursday. In its Wednesday's voting, the Parliament did not reelect the outgoing Deputy Governor, Nikolay Nenovski.
