Institute Director Jean-Pierre Danthine to join Swiss National Bank

The Managing Director of the Swiss Finance Institute, Jean-Pierre Danthine, will join the Swiss National Bank's Governing Board in 2010.

The announcement of professor Danthine's appointment was made on April 8th and was widely reported in the press.

For those keen to see researchers represented in Government, the appointment is good news and I wish Jean-Pierre the very best in the role.
