“Novo Banco‘s new Executive Committee has been approved by the Resolution Fund on December 21st and received this Friday, April 7th, ECB’s approval for nearly all of the names included in the list.

“The Executive Committee’s members have an average of 21.8 years of banking experience out of which 50% (11 years) were spent as board members”, the press release adds.
