Czech President Vaclav Klaus re-appointed on November 23 Mojmir Hampl and Vladimir Tomsik to serve as vice-governors of the central bank for a second six-year term, the central bank said in a statement on its website. The new terms of the two vice-governors will start on December 1, when their first terms expire. Central bankers can serve two six-year terms under the existing legislation. Hampl and Tomsik were elected members of the board on December 1, 2006. They became vice-governors later. The other five members of the board are - governor Miroslav Singer and chief executive directors Lubomir Lizal, Pavel Rezabek, Kamil Janacek and Eva Zamrazilova. At the banks latest monetary policy meeting on November 2, both Hampl, 37, and Tomsik, 38, voted in favour of cutting the main key repo rate by 20 basis points to a new record-low of 0.05% in a bid to help the recession-hit economy. Both Hampl and Tomsik share the eurosceptical views of Klaus.
