Spanish Economy Minister
Luis De Guindos was named vice president of the European Central
Bank by Eurozone finance ministers in the Eurogroup on Monday.
De Guindos got the nod after Ireland withdrew its candidate
Philip Lane, head of the Irish central bank.
The appointment is the first of a series of changes at the
ECB over the coming two years, including the post of the chief
of the bank currently held by Italian Mario Draghi.
