Central bank Governor Zdeněk Tůma, who guided monetary policy through European Union entry and the global financial crisis, will resign on 30 June, almost eight months before his term was to end. Tůma is leaving his post at the Česká Národní Banka before his second six-year term ends on 12 Feb. 2011, to limit the period of “uncertainty” related to changes in the bank board as the terms of three other members are to end at the same time, Tůma told a news conference in Prague today.
