Board of Directors of state companies may leave not only the ministers: as it became known to Vedomosti, the chairman of the Central Bank Sergey Ignatiev decides whether to remain on the board of the Savings Bank.

President Dmitry Medvedev in March ordered the government to replace the employees in his administration, the vice-premiers, ministers, heads of agencies and services on the boards of state companies to private employees. Chairman of the Supervisory Board of VTB, Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin has asked to exclude him from the nomination list for the new term. Economic Development Minister Elvira Nabiullina and presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich did not run for a new board of the Savings Bank. How reminiscent of the "Gazette", the largest bank in the country, unlike other state-owned companies does not belong to Federal Property Management Agency and the Central Bank (CB), which is not a public institution. And formally request the president to Ignatieff does not apply. However, the head of the Central Bank, whose mandate expires in 2012, might follow the example of other officials. "We are carrying out consultations with the Central Bank's Savings Bank, - said a senior government official. - In fact, [Central] Bank took the same position as the government. " Ignatieff does not remain on the board, he said: "We proceed from the logic that by October all members of the government should get out of the boards of directors of state companies, the Central Bank will do exactly the same way." Administration of the President and the Government has not asked Ignatieff resignation, said an official familiar with him: "Formally, no one does not ask. Ignatieff himself decided nothing and would not making a big fuss that question. " "Kudrin did not want to Ignatieff was leaving - he knows the familiar finance minister - with the [President of Sberbank German] Gref, it is best to work myself Ignatiev.

" New rejection (except Dvorkovich and Nabiullina) is not expected, says a representative of the Savings Bank, noting that his candidacy is on the list for the election of the new Board of the Savings Bank. Inquiry by the Central Bank remained unanswered. In this situation, each decides for himself, said the managing director of Deutsche Bank in Russia and CIS Ilya Yuzhanov, former head of the antimonopoly authority and subsequently a member of the Boards of Directors of Nomos Bank, Novatek and Uralkali. According to him, over time, the board of directors of state companies should withdraw from all officials and employees of the Central Bank. There is a conflict of interest, Yuzhanov explains: "The Central Bank should carry out a regulatory function, as well as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sberbank," Ignatieff must ensure maximum profitability of the bank. He plays football, and judges at the professional level - is unacceptable. "
