As regards the widespread media speculation and thus connected enquiries on the allegedly deteriorated relations between the Croatian National Bank and the Ministry of Finance, or rather, on the alleged personal conflict between the Minister of Finance, Ivan Šuker, and the Governor of the Croatian National Bank, Željko Rohatinski, the CNB feels obliged to inform the public that the co-operation between the two institutions, and their respective heads, is good and in line with their competences and authorities under law.
The central bank expects this to continue in the future in the mutual interest of the two institutions and, more importantly, in the best interest of our country, its citizens and its economy.
