Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez made a strong defense of Digital Transformation Minister Jose Luis Escriva’s economic credentials, although he stopped short of endorsing him as the country’s next central bank governor.
“I have the best opinion of Jose Luis Escriva,” Sanchez said during a press conference in Washington when asked about the minister’s possible nomination, adding that “if one looks at his CV, I believe there are few people in Spain who have” his knowledge of monetary policy.
