The bank's governor Dorin Dragutanu said he is in favor of a modern corporate management culture and stressed the importance of the managerial message for ensuring the functionality of the financial institution sent by the seniors to their inferiors. “The involvement of a larger group of persons interested in achieving the set objectives is directly connected with the process of making cooperate decisions transparently and collectively,” the governor said. The vice governor of the central bank Emma Tabarta said the major objectives for a successful corporate administration include the delimitation of the responsibilities in banks, the working out of development strategies and internal policies for administering the risks according to the specific work of every bank and others.
