The
Board of Supervisors of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
has appointed Vojtěch Belling, the Executive Director of the Financial Market
Regulation and International Cooperation Department of the Czech National Bank

General of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, who was appointed as ESMA’s Vice Chair in December last

Thedéen for the valuable role he has played for ESMA, as a member of the Board
of Supervisors, the Management Board, and most recently also as ESMA’s
Vice-Chair,” Ross, who was appointed EMSA Chair in October 2021, added.
